AMAA: With Saltwaterdreamtime

[Hannah-RO]

Thanks everyone for joining us tonight! An Enormous thank you to @Saltwaterdreamtime  for answering all our Qs and allowing us to learn about you and your culture. It’s so lovely to hear that you’ve taken lessons from ReachOut, we’ve certainly taken lessons from you. It will be bloody bittersweet when you age out of this place, you will certainly be very missed.

Thanks to @WheresMySquishy @Hozzles @Lost_Space_Explorer5 @Ladybug @Tiny_leaf @MB95 

for joining the conversation with likes, comments and glorious gifs!

I've got a LOT of takeaways from tonight, specifically for this week I'll be thinking about what @Saltwaterdreamtime said about NAIDOC week and what I can do:

 it’s a time for reflection, what can we as a country do better to recognise AND RESPECT the nations first people.

And this absolute GOLD: 

To put it simply, individuality is awesome, be proud, stand tall, because you are a legend just the way you are.

Thanks everybody and take care

Thank you so much @Saltwaterdreamtime! I've learnt a lot, and I'll for sure be passing on some knowledge with people I know.

@Hannah-RO The premier said no parties and no guests in our houses!? Where do I report for breach of lockdown hahaha, I’m over these rule breakers. It’s not like they pay rent!


Thanks all. Have a wonderful night!

This is so cool, and you can order clothes specifically for mob or allies. 
We just ordered a few things for our household. 
Just one of the local Indigenous businesses KILLING IT.

Okay I'm not going to lie, I did actually tear up a few times reading through this chat. This thread encapsulates everything I love about our community. The willingness to learn, the mutual respect, the lols and the personal growth. @Saltwaterdreamtime I cannot thank you enough for opening up to us all, for sharing your journey to discover your culture and just being you. I think I speak for everyone when I say how sad we'll be when you age out, but wow, aren't we so lucky to have had you here. Such a wholesome chat everyone thank you all so much for making my friday  

Also, I just had to contribute to the surfing gifs. Enjoy.
