b"I only met today\\u2019s guest in person recently, but we happen to share the same management which basically makes us family (big shout out to Gen and her team at Day Management) and I\\u2019d separately been a great admirer of her work since long before then. Rachael Sarra is a contemporary Aboriginal artist and designer from Goreng Goreng country whose work is a powerful tool for storytelling, change making and spreading the yay.\\n\\nCrashing right through the dot painting stereotype and challenging society\\u2019s perception of Aboriginal art and identity, Rachael\\u2019s style is uniquely energetic, engaging and colourful. She pushes art to new boundaries from being projected onto the William Jolly Bridge to the packaging of some incredible brand collaborations like Matrix Hair which you\\u2019ll hear about as well as The Body Shop and How We Roll Co. I found out, however, that she originally hoped to be the sixth Spice Girl until I planted a big fat nay to yay all over that \\u2013 this was also my first time as an accidental killjoy and probably a hint at how much fun we had going off on random tangents between exploring her pathYAY to date. She is another great example that what you advocate for might not be trendy until it is but the change makers are the ones who stick with it anyway. I love this woman and everything she's about and hope you do too.\\n\\nMATRIX TOTAL RESULTS MIRACLE CREATOR SPRAY\\n\\n+ Follow Rachael here\\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\\n+ Join our Facebook community here\\n+ Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!"
