Storytelling is the heart of Yarn Quest, so why don’t you have a go at writing your own?
In the Write Your Own Stories episode of Yarn Quest we hear a story from Sibyl and Aunty Brooke. They tell us their very own made-up story all about being a writer. Then Aunty Brooke will take you through writing your very own fiction (that’s made up) story! Then we hear from published writer and editor Jasmin McGaughey, she shares with us why writing stories is her favourite thing ever, and how you could become a writer when you grow up.
Thank you to Yarnie Sibyl for their help with this episode.

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.
