In this episode we travel to Beagle Bay, Western Australia to meet a powerful Indigenous woman, Tasha McAlpine.
We uncover the staggering issue of youth suicide within the aboriginal communities through the Kimberly and the work that Tasha is doing to bring forth change to this unspoken issue of social injustice within our very own backyard.
Born and raised in the Beagle Bay community in the Dampia Peninsula, Tasha now lives in Perth, Western Australia and is currently studying Early Childhood Education.
This true woman of substance believes that children should receive the education that they need from an early age.
Tasha is a true role model within her community taking a stand against the issue of youth suicide in the aboriginal communities of the Kimberly & has designed a label to help fund the Beagle Bay Community Centre. Tasha hopes to one day open a Trauma Clinic for Youth to escape and reconnect with the land and their roots.
Tasha is using her artistic talents to add traditional aboriginal designs to a short run of denim jackets, in order to raise much needed funds to sow back into the Beagle Bay Community
So they can continue their community outreach and provision of a safe haven for the youth of Beagle Bay
