For Donnell Wallam, 2022 was intense. After she found herself at the centre of one of year's biggest sports stories she was largely silent publicly as she sought to navigate a challenging landscape. She spoke with Patrick Stack about how that time made her stronger, why she feels a burden in being a spokesperson on Indigenous issues, but why she believed she needed to speak out, so future generations might not have to.
