Why is education important for business? 

In this episode, Dr Janine Mohamed, CEO of the Lowitja Institute, tells Mundanara that although we operate in a white system, Blak business owners often aren’t motivated to go into business for the same reasons as non-Indigenous businesses. 

Education, she says, taught her a lot about herself - what not to do and who she didn’t want to be. 

Dr Janine Mohamed is a proud Narrunga Kaurna woman from Point Pearce in South Australia who has dedicated her career to Indigenous health through roles in nursing, management and policy for over two decades.
