Kirsty talks about the alarming Indigenous health statistics that Australians have become complacent about and the need to keep conversations happening. She talks about what NAIDOC Week 2018 means to her and about the important female role models in her life. She also shares about being unapologetic about addressing the 'hard' conversations.
