When I first started at Marninwarntikura, I worked as the coordinator of the Mobile Playgroup and then as the Tenancy Coordinator in the Community Programs Unit. In early 2014 I started working with the women in Marnin Studio learning how to dye scarves, carve textile blocks and print material.

I come here because I feel strong working with all of the other women. When I'm in the studio I feel more confident and when I take my scarves home to dye them together with my nephews, nieces and my only son, we all feel more connected. I really like to explain to the customers how I make my scarves and what I use. I feel proud when I share my stories and see the customers wearing my scarves. I have recently graduated from the Marnin Studio program and, with their support, have started my own bush dyeing business from my community.
