My dad taught me to always be learning, no matter how small or how big – always learn something new. Attending my first Indigenous Comic Con in America was something I never dreamed I’d achieve. To see Indigenous people interested in the things I loved was very comforting. Understanding that Indigenous creativity has completely altered how our culture is expressed; I will always be excited about it. I brought the first Australian chapter of Indigenous Comic Con over in…
