On this week's episode I was so stoked to sit down with one of Australia's most exciting actors - Rarriwuy Hick.
Originally from Dhalinybuy, a community 100km from Yirrkala, Rarriwuy grew up between Arnhem Land and Sydney. In this conversation she shares with us the struggles she faced at school in the city, and how looking at the big picture helped her find strength.
Coming from a family of talented performers, including her mother
Janet Munyarryun - a founding member of
Bangarra Dance Theatre, Rarriwuy was destined for the lime light. She starred in a range of theatre productions before getting into television - most recently you might know her as inmate Ruby Mitchell from Wentworth.
She has done so many amazing things in her short life - including starting the viral social media campaign #ourkidsbelongwithfamily.
We sat down for a chat a few weeks ago, however Rarriwuy came into the Gove FM studio yesterday to fill us in on all the Logies goss - congrats to the Wentworth crew - so well deserved.
It was an absolute honour to have Rarriwuy on the podcast, and apart from being ridiculously talented - she is genuinely a super nice human. Prepare to be inspired.
