This week we chat with Kirsty Leo, a CQUniversity Nursing lecturer and proud Indigenous woman from Rockhampton. Kirsty talks about her life as a third generation meatworker before heading into the area of Indigenous health. She shares about her varied nursing career and about fitting family around a career. Kirsty talks about the alarming Indigenous health statistics that Australians have become complacent about and the need to keep conversations happening. She talks about what NAIDOC Week 2018 means to her and about the important female role models in her life. She also shares about being unapologetic about addressing the 'hard' conversations.
