“Racism comes in many venomous forms. Racism that I experience is not as blatant or visible as the open racism my elders faced, but it exists in its own form.”
“It’s subtle and quiet and it’s a type that you might not even recognise as being openly disrespectful. Names, Titles, Prefixes, Assumptions. And rather it’s the violence in the lack of discussion that is just as painful.”
For the #BETHATGIRL campaign, each person was asked to choose a word that encapsulates them. Aretha’s words were “political” & “Australian”.
Raw, real & free of re-touching, we’re here to celebrate Aretha’s story.
