What clients and colleagues say …
“It has been wonderful to work with you again. I love the way you work so cleverly with our people and listen intently with respect and ethics… You have a great way of articulating [the content] from a strong gathering of women who have so much knowledge.”
“I wish we had you on board years ago! Your guidance and wisdom is wonderful, thanks.”
“I’m very impressed with how well you ran the workshop and kept people engaged, I thought they might’ve flagged … The content looks really great. Well done.”
“Independently we had three people describe your presentation as “the most outstanding keynote at a scientific forum” and “best keynote I’ve heard in years”. Several people said it was the first time they’d heard an Aboriginal language spoken with fluency [by Veronica Perrurle]. Others commended the quality of your photos and animations. ”
“Would you be interested in this new job in 2019? Your films are amazing. I absolutely love them. How fantastic you both are [Nixon and Walsh] … [The senior Martu woman] has been taking the USB of her films everywhere with her. She shows them to family and staff. She even showed them to Ann Jones from ABC radio Off Track...’”
“An absolutely wonderful photographical story you so mesmerizingly told us. It was just amazing. … All this through your fantastic photos and the way you arranged them and turned them into a tale of humanity. You’ve got to do more and more. We all need your work. ”
