about: Marlee Silva is a 21-year-old Kamilaroi and Dunghutti woman who was born and raised on Dharrawal country in the Sutherland Shire, south of Sydney. She is completing a double degree at the University of Wollongong, and has also worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander high school kids through an Aboriginal non-profit called AIME Mentoring. In 2016 she spent twelve months as the organisation’s Co-CEO, which allowed her to travel across the country speaking to hundreds of Aboriginal kids and showed her that while the experiences we face are diverse, rich and complex, we all seem to have an unfaltering resilience in common.
