In this episode of LONGLINE we sit down again with Yolngu man and artist Graham Wilfred Junior to hear about his miraculous journey with Spina bifida. At birth, Graham’s family was told he would never walk unassisted. However, Graham had other ideas! In this episode, Graham talks about the long process of learning to walk, becoming independent, and some of the struggles that led him to live independently in Alice Springs.

 

A huge thank you to Graham Wilfred Junior for sharing his story with the LONGLINE team.
