Amy is a queer Yuwi mental health professional, content creator, producer and self-described icon living on Darkinjung land.
Amy is most passionate about creating work that challenges fatphobia, embraces neuroscience and rejects the evils of toxic positivity. She has long history of championing the rights and wellbeing of young people and is the true embodiment of Big Aunty Energy.
She has almost 10 years working in the mental health profession, where she has been invited to speak on a multitude of panels about the impacts of colonisation on first nations people, parenting practices, the impacts of mental health and fatphobia and healthy relationships across the lifespan. She has created content for schools, families, children and young people. She has also produced social media with creators across sectors and managed both corporate and social events for a wide range of audiences.
At Awesome Black we don’t like to talk about the deficit that First Nations people have gone through, we don’t like to talk about the history of government failures and the effects they have had on our communities. We recognise that they have happened, but we want to talk about what we can do right now to get things moving forward for us, by us.
At Awesome Black we are attempting to create a system where wealth stays in our communities and we can build up Blakenomics, supporting each other’s businesses and community. At every point when we buy something we think… can we buy this from a First Nations person, if the answer is yes we do it, if the answer is no… we ask more questions. Why not? And how do we make sure that we can in the future?
Awesome Black acknowledges the traditional owners across the lands on which we live and work.
Awesome Black is about First Nations, first in everything we do. A community of skilled creators are ready to collaborate. If you have an idea for a project get in touch.
