   “Having no children my six nephews are my focus for investment. I hope that I can inspire them by showing them there is a space for Black businesses. I want to open and expand the minds of our new generations and let them know that they too can have futures in business and entrepreneurship. I want to be the best role model and to encourage and empower my mob. 

   This world is for future generations to explore and our people have every right to be there like every other person in Australia and the world.  We have so much to offer around our cultural strengths that we must share this with the world. It is our responsibility to begin the journey.”
