Sister
This theme has been sitting with my heart for a while now and when I was out in Mparntwe*, I was fortunate to spend time with the Tangentyere Women’s Family Safety Group. They are Sisters, Tiddas, Aunties and they are committed to being a voice and taking action on Family and Domestic Violence issues.
You are encouraged to present aprons that are vibrant, that uplift, create connection and acknowledge all the women who care, love and stand for us – Our Sisters. I hope you will join me in this very special 2023 Apron Project.
