- Health & Fitness
In this episode I sit down with proud Wiradjuri & Wailwan woman Teela Reid. Teela is a defence lawyer, former teacher, 5 x marathoner and activist.
She was awarded UNSW Law Dean’s Women of Excellence List and was appointed tipstaff to her Honour Justice Lucy McCallum in the NSW Supreme Court. Ms Reid was invited to sit in on leadership meetings in Melbourne that began the foundation of the Uluru Statement of the Heart and became a working group leader on Section 51(xxvi) in the Constitutional dialogue process.
Teela shares why our constitution needs to change to acknowledge the Indigenous people of this land, and how when we include this significant part of our culture and our history, we are not losing 200 years of history we are gaining an inclusion to the 60,000 years of Indigenous culture. Which is certainly something I want for my kids. Teela’s call is for all of us to be a part of this change.
This is an important conversation and one I would encourage you to listen to again and again. Soak up the honesty, wisdom, and conviction that oozes out of Teela Reid.
