This piece was written by Ruby Wharton at the National See My World Workshop in September.

WHO I AM I am not black, yes I may have black colored skin but Im not black. I am not Indiginous Australian, yeh my people may be native to Australia but im not. I am not Aboriginal yes that may be the race of my people but I am not. I am a kooma and kamilaroi girl not Australian , not Indiginous Australian or black, I am Kooma and Kamilaroi from the day I was born to the day I’ll die.
