I am a member of the Stolen Generations and I want to speak directly to university students about my experience of being taken from my mum and later incarcerated in an unsafe institution. My story is raw, confronting and definitely not for children, so I need help shaping it into an engaging, respectful session suitable for a mature tertiary audience. I'm looking for someone local near Melbourne who can reach out to universities and successfully secure interviews for me to promote my talk. Here’s what I’m aiming for: a powerful in-person talk that runs roughly 55 minutes, followed by Q&A. I’d like assistance developing the narrative arc, writing a clear script in my own voice, and—if it strengthens the message—creating a simple slide deck with a few historical images and key dates. Trauma-informed language and cultural sensitivity are crucial throughout. I would like the Google ad to be somehow aimed at the correct classes that are studying Aboriginal studies Ideal support includes: • Collaborative scripting that keeps my voice authentic yet structured for academic listeners • Light coaching on pacing, tone and body language so I feel confident delivering it live • Optional PowerPoint or Keynote slides (respectful imagery only, nothing graphic) • A one-page hand-out summarising key points for students and lecturers If you have experience shaping personal testimonies, especially Indigenous or survivor stories, and you understand how to engage university audiences, I’d love to work together. Please share a brief note on similar projects you’ve supported and how you approach sensitive, adult-only content. I have worked with secondary students before.

STUDENTS CAN STUDY THE HISTORY, BUT HEARING IT FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVED IT CREATES A DIFFERENT KIND OF UNDERSTANDING. The feedback from your previous talk already shows that distinction. People described your story as powerful, informative and affecting, with several noting that hearing the truth through lived experience gave them an understanding they could not get otherwise. That gives the university outreach a clear purpose: find the Melbourne lecturers and course coordinators whose students are already studying Aboriginal history, culture and related subjects, and introduce the talk as an opportunity to hear directly from a Gunditjmara man about experiences that textbooks cannot reproduce. The scripting can build on the story you already tell, keeping the honesty and vulnerability that audiences responded to while shaping the structure for a mature tertiary setting. The previous feedback also suggests there is an appetite for these conversations beyond a single NAIDOC event. Would you like me to look at the existing talk material first and identify the strongest angle for university outreach?

The strength of this session will come from keeping the story personal while giving students enough historical and academic context to understand what they’re hearing. It shouldn’t feel like a generic presentation about the Stolen Generations. It should still sound like your experience, your voice and your perspective. I’d help shape the 55-minute talk around a clear narrative, with pacing that gives the difficult parts room without letting the presentation become overwhelming. The slides, if used, should support the story with carefully chosen historical context rather than compete with it. I’ve worked with secondary-school audiences before, so I understand the importance of making serious material accessible while keeping the audience engaged. I’d also approach the scripting collaboratively, so the final wording remains faithful to how you want your experience represented. For reaching the right university audience, I can also help structure the material and outreach around relevant Aboriginal Studies and related courses. Would you prefer the session to lean more toward your personal story or connect your experience more directly to the historical context students are studying? .

I will handle every story respectfully and maintain confidentiality throughout the project.

Hi, I’d love to help you turn your experience into a powerful 55-minute university presentation that is structured and engaging while still sounding completely like you. My background is in writing, editing and public speaking, so I can help shape the narrative arc, script and pacing without over-polishing or diluting the rawness of your story. I understand that with a personal account of the Stolen Generations and institutionalisation, cultural sensitivity and trauma-informed language are essential. Your voice and experience would remain at the centre of every decision. I can support the complete project: developing the script, adapting your previous secondary-school presentation for a mature tertiary audience, coaching delivery and Q&A, and creating a simple, respectful slide deck and one-page student handout. I can also help position the Google ad toward relevant university audiences and disciplines, including Indigenous Studies, Australian History, Education, Social Work, Health and Law. I’m a strong communicator and careful researcher, and I’m particularly good at turning complex material into writing that feels natural when spoken rather than read from a page. I’d work collaboratively with you throughout, making sure the final presentation is something you feel comfortable and confident delivering. I’d be genuinely excited to help you bring this story to university students in a way that is memorable, respectful and unmistakably yours.
