Ep. 52   Shelley Cable

Shelley Cable is a Wilman-Nyoongar woman from Perth and the CEO of Generation One, part of the $2Billion Minderoo Foundation established by Andrew and Nicola Forrest.

Her goal is  is to create parity with and for Indigenous Australians, within one generation through meaningful and sustainable employment opportunities. It's been described as an audacious, challenging, and at times overwhelming goal, but, as she says, ' we strive for it because allowing this disparity to continue is not an option.'

As a young woman she was invited to attend the United Nations and present to the UN's Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. She was a delegate to the Uluru Convention on Constitutional Reform which resulted in the Uluru Statement of the Heart.

Shelley Cable is passionate about Indigenous business, economic empowerment and financial inclusion and has been widely recognised for her leadership. With Generation One, she has the opportunity to make a real difference. 

I have no doubt she will.
