Having grown up in Bamaga and Seisia aboriginal and Torres Strait islander communites on remote Cape York I had always wanted to design a program for the community that involved personal and professional development, positive role modelling/mentoring using health and exercise as the engagement tool. Being able to speak the local language and understand their culture made the idea so much more powerful and successful. With a great love of personal and professional development that I had used with great success in my own life I was able to design a work book for program participants that would teach these principles and methods in a way indigenous people would understand and share them with their families. In 2014 that dream was realised and I came to the unique understanding that indigenous health and personal development is one of my true passions in life.
