Sharing and championing Indigenous voices is one of the key aims - not just during NAIDOC week, but as we move into the future.

One of those people trying to do just that is one of the first Indigenous models to be signed with one of Australia’s biggest modelling agencies, a Miss Universe Australia contestant, and now mentor to young Indigenous people, Shannon McGuire.

A proud whadjuk ballardong woman, she’s the founder of Miss NAIDOC Perth, and for the first time this year, Mr NAIDOC.
