Finding Your Voice with Duku Forè

In this inspiring backstage conversation at Stand Tall Canberra 2025, Molly Croft sits down with the extraordinary Duku Forè - a refugee-turned-international speaker, entrepreneur, and author.

Arriving in Australia at just 10 years old with no English and a speech impediment, Duku’s story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of saying “yes.” From filming motivational videos in his bathroom with his little brother to speaking on global stages - including the United Nations - his journey shows what’s possible when you refuse to give up.

In this episode, Duku shares:

- How bullying and setbacks shaped his drive to grow.

- The creative way he overcame his speech challenges.

- Why his siblings’ belief in him kept him moving forward.

- The importance of starting small—even if it’s just chasing a $9 sandwich.

His personal mantra: “You don’t have to be great to get started, you have to get started to be great.”

This conversation is full of laughter, wisdom, and hope. Whether you’re a young person chasing your dreams or someone needing a reminder that persistence pays off, Duku’s story will leave you inspired to Stand Tall in your own life.
