Family, you know, is everything to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Imagine being the first Aboriginal female to join the Victoria Police Force. That's the incredible journey of Tarina Fanning, who shares her story on Youth and Loud. Growing up adopted by a non-Aboriginal family, Tarina faced her share of challenges, including bullying and racism. Yet, she persevered and broke through barriers, becoming a beacon of hope and change in both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities.

In this episode, Tarina opens up about her life experiences, offering a unique perspective on Aboriginal culture and history. She reflects on the importance of Naidoc Week, a time to celebrate the rich and diverse culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Her story is not just one of personal triumph but also a call to embrace and participate in cultural festivities that foster understanding and unity. For anyone interested in resilience, cultural heritage, and the fight against ignorance, this episode is a must-listen. Tarina's insights into family, community, and overcoming adversity are both inspiring and thought-provoking.
