In this generous episode Indigenous leader, Bernice Hookey, shares her passion for disrupting the harmful cycles that exist around intergenerational trauma. She offers insight into her own journey of healing, and how it has led to her passion for fostering and supporting leadership through her amazing work with First Nations women.
Bernice was also sponsored by the National Indigenous Australians Agency to take part in course 29 of the Australian Rural Leadership Program in 2022.
Sitting down with our host, Claire Delahunty, she describes how grief and darkness led her to a stronger connection with the importance of love and humanity in leadership. She also stresses how essential it is to be open to “everyday learning” and not to be complacent about bias, prejudice, discrimination and racism.
Some highlights:
- Bernice shares her connection to Culture, Country and the vital role of Elders
- The power of keeping a diary and writing to reflect on your life
- Leaning in to “growing through what we’re going through”
- The role we can all play in sharing the responsibility for reconciliation
- How her business ‘positively disrupts’ social conditioning to create positive ripples for the next generation
