Testimonials
“Jahna Cedar is an Indigenous change agent and leader. As an IWI Ambassador for Australia at our inaugural Feb 2024 event in Aotearoa, NZ her contribution to socio-economic challenges and social justice solutions was outstanding. I look forward to our enduring partnership to help Indigenous women in Industry rise.”
- Rachel Petero, Founder and CEO - Rise Global and IWI
“Our team at Jackson McDonald recently gathered, in honour of National Reconciliation Week, to listen together to Jahna Cedar’s TED Talk, 'Balancing Cultures - Walking in Two Worlds.' Jahna is a thought leader in our community and I greatly value the way she encourages us to challenge our thinking and perceptions. Jahna’s story deeply resonated with our people, highlighting the importance of acknowledging and embracing diversity, and better understanding our shared history. Her story served as a powerful reminder of the resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and the need for ongoing truth telling. By listening to Jahna's experiences, we gained invaluable insights into the lived realities of First Nations Australians, fostering in our team a deeper empathy and understanding.”
