As a Torres Strait Islander person the most rewarding aspects of the internship was working in an environment where people looked, sounded and thought like me. People knew how to pronounce my surname! It was amazing to be immersed in my culture and I learnt so much. It was incredibly affirming work, the role and aspirations of GBK aligned with my values and it was a privilege to work with the team. The internship demonstrated the importance of surrounding yourself with people who care about you and your culture. The best aspect was being able to connect with powerful First Nations’ organisations who are doing the ground work in their communities.
