Speaking of fun!!! It is I have always loved to dance. I can't say I'm very good at it, but I absolutely love to dance. Especially swing dancing of any kind. My parents were competition square dancers back in their day. But the Lindy Hop has always fascinated me! Did you know they have Lindy Hop competitions all over the world? So fun!!! Today is also

Posted @withregram • @piajanebijkerk When I first learnt what #sorryday was all about many years ago now, I was angry - I felt that sorry was no where near enough, that this tiny word couldn’t possibly encompass the enormity of what happened to the people of this land. Since then I’ve learnt more about grief through my own personal journey, and that anger is an inescapable stage of it. And I’ve learnt how important this day is. Saying sorry is hard, it stirs up so many uncomfortable emotions. And that’s the point of today. Stirring up the uncomfortable emotions allows us to recognize all that has been done so we can heal, it’s the only way to move forward together. Perhaps sorry is a bridge. With each year that passes that we acknowledge this day and it’s importance, more stone is added to the bridge and it becomes stronger and stronger. Strong enough that we can all walk on it together.

Today (June 3rd) is the last day of Reconciliation Week. This week all over the world we've seen how much work there is yet to do - not just in the US but in our own backyards. Indigenous Australians make up 3% of the population yet represent 28% of the prison population. More than 400 deaths while in custody have been recorded since the 1991 royal commission into Indigenous deaths in custody. Today I have linked a GoFundMe in my bio which is started by Sisters Inside Inc., who work to support Indigenous women who are imprisoned - many of whom are single mothers and who are only in jail because they cannot afford to pay for fines for minor offences. The money in the GFM goes toward bailing these women out of jail. There is also a direct donation link on their website that goes to supporting the children of these incarcerated women.

Australia’s National Sorry Day! I always wonder why Britain doesn’t join us or at least acknowledge this day. Australia, the first and only nation to hold a national Sorry Day for what our British taskmasters and colonial ancestors did to our indigenous Australians! #aboriginalaustralia #sorryday https://www.instagram.com/p/CAo6onmAgqN/?igshid=1a4dlwtw4h3rw
