A Northern Territorian, proud Woolwonga and Kukatj woman, raised on Larrakia and Yolngu Land. Lateesha is a passionate advocate for education – particularly for young women – and the role empowering young women plays in healing intergenerational trauma and strengthening communities. 

Today we chat with Lateesha about her background and her passion for lateral empowerment. In 2022, Lateesha was successful in a Grant Application through Northern Land Council's Stimulus Grant Package, to develop and deliver a program in relation to Lateral Violence for Aboriginal and/ or Torres Strait Islander Women across the Northern Territory. We talk about the implementation of this program and what it means for young people across the territory. 

Welcome Lateesha.
