What would you do if you didn’t know your own language? This week we meet Aunty Deb, a proud Gumbaynggirr woman who shares with Shan how the traumas inflicted on those that went before her impact on her childhood, her parents, and her relationships. Aunty Deb shares how, through her strength and defiance, has built her own connection to country and culture through developing her skills as a linguist. Her passion for helping people connect to their culture, country, and community by learning language is nothing short of beautiful.
