The Way Home - In conversation with Aunty Brenda Matthews

As NAIDOC Week draws to a close, we continue our conversation with Aunty Brenda Matthews. In this second and concluding chapter, the focus shifts from what was taken to what has been reclaimed. Brenda reflects on finding her identity, reconnecting with culture, embracing forgiveness, and transforming a painful past into a life dedicated to healing, education and hope. Together, Megan and Shannon explore the power of storytelling, the impact of intergenerational trauma, and the role each of us can play in shaping a more understanding and connected future. As NAIDOC Week ends, may this not be the end of our listening, but the beginning of how we choose to walk together every day that follows.
