Naidoc Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and is an opportunity for all Australians to discover the unique stories our First nations people have to share. Shades of Me is Mel Brown's story, warts and all, and it is a compelling, thought provoking and at times shocking tale of one woman's journey to find her place in the world. Mel chats candidly to Kevin about the ups and downs of her life and the challenges of putting it into the public arena. It is an important conversation about a very important book. 

Mel Brown will be talking about her memoir throughout NAIDOC Week, from Brisbane to Sydney to Canberra.
