BLACK WOMEN STRONG CONFERENCE YARRABAH
In June 2012 the Biloela PACE Co-ordinator travelled with eight women from Biloela to the community of Yarrabah to attend the Black Women Strong Conference. The women who accompanied me to the conference gained valuable information, we returned to Biloela with the following knowledge:
• Cultural awareness
• Being empowered and positive as a women in today’s society
• Interacting/ networking with women from other communities On returning from the conference, the group held a meeting to discuss the Conference andwhat other outcomes we may have, it was then decided to hold our own Women’s Conferencein Biloela. We felt that our community would benefit by sharing our experience and knowledgewith the Indigenous women in Biloela and surrounding areas.
WORKSHOPS WITH STUDENTS
The Biloela Indigenous Advisory Group and the PaCE commitee
invited the talented Naurita Briscoe, originally from
Mossman/Daintree area, whom was at that time one of our mum’s
in the community to come and workshop with our girls on
designing and making burnie beans so these could be handed to
our guests at the Indigenous Women Powering on Conference as gifts

JINA NADU JANIBA (THIS IS OUR LAND)
Jina Nadu Janiba was written by Nautrita Brisco in her language
Kuku Yalanji, with the permission from elders she was enabled to
translate the song into the Gangulu language with the help from
Traditional Owner Uncle Philip Toby.
Over 4 weeks Naurita taught our young women this song along with vocal training and stage
presence so they were able to perform this at our Indigenous Women Powering On conference.
