A lot of my identity as an Aboriginal person is about family.
It takes a lot of courage as an actor to take time off for family. But family is everything.
People look at me and they dont see what they think is a typical Aboriginal.
One of my earliest memories is being backstage at Bran Nue Dae in Darwin when I was about eight. Its such a fun, happy show and a real celebration of being Aboriginal... it felt really great and achievable as a career. It all felt normal.
