This week we have the pleasure of talking with Emma Vardy, who has recently participated in the Young Leaders program conducted and organised by DeafBlind Western Australians (DBWA). Emma describes the complexities of becoming a leader and exploring one's own internal leadership. She proudly illustrates her journey from little knowledge to demonstrating her strength and confidence gained from participating in such a wonderful, inclusive program.

The DBWA program touched on concepts like self-advocacy, citizenship keys, finding inner strength and discovering the inner knowledge to become a competent, confident person in leadership. 

Emma shares her passions and interests both inside and outside of future work. She is a wonderful singer, looking to explore professional avenues and demonstrate her talent. Whilst exploring the concepts of leadership, Emma describes leaders she has had in her world that have inspired her and modelled behaviours she admires.

We hope you enjoy this pleasant conversation where we discover the many adventures of this young leader and strong community member.
