In their own words
I’m a local mum, raising my young family on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people, and proudly call Croydon home. As a migrant and woman of colour, politics wasn’t something I initially saw myself in, but I believe that if we want a better future, we all need to show up and help build it together.
