Jan 26th isn't a day of celebration for all Australians. 

If you're an ally who is struggling to determine the best way to support first nations people this year, we're here to help. 

Allira is joined by Megan Waters, Proud Warumungu/Yawuru woman, Host of Yokayi Footy on NITV and co-owner of Air Locker Training Brunswick to talk about the guilt and personal reckoning they've done with Jan 26th, what organisations they like to support this year and what allies should do this Jan 26th. 

THE END BITS

If you're looking for resources and organisations to support this Jan 26th we've left a few ideas below: 

• @commongroundfirstnations
• @clothingthegaps
• Australia Day By Stan Grant
• Melbourne Indigenous Transition School (MITS)
• Ngarrimili, Nurturing First Nations Business
