Walking forward with tradition: A Yolŋu young leader bridging two worlds
How do you navigate a future shaped by both tradition and change? For young Yolŋu leaders, the path forward isn’t always clear. Tradition is strong, but modern influences - like social media - are changing the way young people connect with culture, community, and Elders. With these shifts, tough questions arise: What traditions do you hold onto? What do you adapt? And how do you make space for both worlds? In this episode, Zelda Dhamarrandji, a young Yolŋu leader shares her experience of growing up in Galiwin’ku, where cultural knowledge and modern influences intersect. She reflects on the responsibility of carrying forward cultural knowledge, the pressures of the modern world, and what it means to move forward while staying connected to the past.
