Truth-Telling in Wynnum – Aunty Denise Adams & Uncle Bill Lemson
Your Invitation to Truth-Telling – Wynnum Allies
Aunty Denise Adams, Elder in residence at Lourdes Hil College, was a Board Member of Winnam Aboriginal Corporation for 14 years.
She is a member of a local Winnam Elders group, and Co-Chair of Wynnum Allies.
Uncle Bill Lemon facilitates yarning circles at St John’s Cathedral.
He supports Brisbane Allies, is involved in the Survival Day and Dundali Commemoration events in Magandjin / Brisbane.
Our Rationale: There is widespread community interest in and support for truth-telling at local, state and national levels among Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
Truth-telling is crucial to developing a shared understanding between al Australians- including in the greater Wynnum region- that can contribute to meaningful reconciliation. Truth-telling has the power to inform, educate, and heal – but also to provide an opportunity to achieve justice, based upon hearing and understanding the wrongs of the past, in support of the ongoing process of reconciliation in Queensland.
First Nations Allies Wynnum meets monthly to promote this important understanding and dialogue. We welcome your interest and participation.
