Welcome to my first reel! Woohoo! I’ve finally done one. I’ve taken up @bronwyn.birdsall and @kmildenhall’s challenge on @thefirsttimepod to dive in. I’ve been home all week with another virus 🦠 (welcome back, viruses!) so I haven’t been up to much BUT it has given me time to work out how to do this (Tip: it takes time to work it out). A big shoutout to @middle_grade_mavens_podcast for her brilliant reels that show you how to do all the things within a reel. Follow her and show her your love. Also watch to Kate and Bronwyn’s live recording on The First Time podcast where they chat all things reel.
I look up from my desk
This book is so good and worthy of winning the Miles Franklin award. It is tearing at my heart. Jennifer Down sure knows her craft. Flick through to see my unicorn copy where I’m taken back sixteen pages then miss sixteen pages! 😱😱😱
Vale Archie Roach ❤️💛🖤
Nurture: a bowl of berry porridge to soothe the brain.
It’s NAIDOC week and I turn to the arts for understanding. Books like these, artwork and music performance. Last night was amazing at Hamer Hall with @electricfields_music and @melbournesymphonyorchestra. The space was heaving with dance and applause. Everyone left with a huge smile of their face. It felt like such a privilege to be in that space. #getupstandupshowup #naidoc2022
