Empower Aboriginal Women through Cultural Burning

By Rachel Steffensen | Fundraising + Community Relations Lead

Through the SEQ Mentoring Program, we have been privileged to support an Aboriginal woman who recently celebrated a significant cultural milestone—her witnessing ceremony in December. This journey is not only personal but also an important step in her leadership and community engagement.

Following this cultural achievement, we are now assisting her and her cousin in starting their own small enterprise. This initiative is designed to empower them with the skills and resources needed to build a sustainable business while preserving and sharing their cultural knowledge. To support the growth of their enterprise, we are also helping them organize their first workshop later this month. 

By nurturing their entrepreneurial spirit and providing ongoing mentorship, we are contributing to their journey of self-determination and economic independence. We look forward to witnessing their continued growth and the positive impact they will bring to their community.

This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting Aboriginal women in leadership roles, fostering cultural sustainability, and promoting community empowerment through respectful and meaningful engagement.
