Narelle Urquhart's life story is turbulent, heartbreaking, redemptive and inspiring. Growing up in traumatic circumstances, Narelle left home at just 14 years of age, finding herself homeless and in an abusive relationship. Years of losses and ongoing mental health battles eventually led her to Queensland where an Indigenous elder and pastor took her to church that very first Sunday. There she found faith, love, acceptance and hope which she has passed on to her four children. As both an artist and the Indigenous Engagement Advisor at Bond University, Narelle uses her full 'toolbag' of life experiences to help Indigenous young people who struggle with identity, as well as educate others in what their role is in the Indigenous and Australian story.
