An extract from a book I’m currently reading.. I really found it quite profound and sums up much of what I have felt and thought, about the learnings of the last 18 months, and what it all means for the future..

This year’s @RecAustralia #reconciliationweek theme urges us to be braver so our actions are more impactful. Great to be with my @WACOSS colleagues today at @Reconcil_WA in recognition that we need to do this together
