In this episode, Caroline is joined by model, actress, poet and activist Guyala Bayles. Guyala is a proud Birri Gubba and Wonnarua woman. At only 21 years old, she has a very impressive portfolio under her belt, working with iconic Australian brands like Country Road, David Jones and Cotton On. Guyala’s trailblazing efforts to make  Aboriginal faces seen and heard in Australia’s media landscape are inspired by her family. Her grandfather Tiga Bayles had a passion for amplifying First Nation’s voices and stories, which led him to become a driving force in the creation of  the Brisbane Indigenous Media Association and the National Indigenous Radio Service in Queensland. Her Grandmother Maureen Watson was also an avid supporter of Aboriginal rights in Australia, alongside her work as a renowned actor, vocalist, writer and storyteller. 



With such a strong family legacy, Caroline talks to Guyala about the complicated dance that is embracing the path forged by her ancestors while also growing into her own person with her own beliefs and ways of being. Guyala reflects on her numerous past projects, including her starring role in the Australian film 6 Festivals, as well as looks to the future with her new found passion of storytelling through music. They yarn over a shared challenge of wearing many hats, and the importance of  filling your own cup first in order to best help others.
