Bunuba

Uh, Kayps is a Perth rapper, producer.

Um, he's got a new album called Bunuba, Baby, uh, B-U-N-U-B-A, and that is out now on Bad Apples.

Uh, Sampa the Great started us off with Simon Says.

That is, uh, it's not the latest single.

I am a lawyer, an entrepreneur, an advocate, an innovator, and probably more often than not, a protagonist.

I am a Yaru Bunaba woman.

So Yaru from Broome in Western Australia and Bunaba from the Fitzroy Crossing area, which is a little bit south of here.

But I also have Chinese heritage through my grandfather and Irish heritage through my father.

So basically a group of multicultural family members, political protagonists and underdogs, but also highly accomplished, caring and nurturing people.

And it was so incredibly important to bring this first episode from our grandmother's country.

Definitely.

And I think, you know, we're Yarrou Bunaba.

I keep it alive by seeing the numbers of women and young people particularly stepping up so boldly arou- and owning their space and their right for a better life, and the absolute belief in things can be different.

And so, um, you know, w- with the work that I'm doing with the institute's team, we've, we're creating spaces, and we've been holding these peace building camps on Bunuba country where women from all over the country have a space where they can go, they can affirm their strengths, and enact their visions for a healthy future.

And we've, you know, held two huge camps over the last two years and, um, at these camps we're constructing the tools and the methodologies and a model for teaching this form of collective leadership and ways of acting so that we can enter into more effective dialogue, action, and agreement making, and build a more livable fabric for our world.

Sounds like hope to change for me.
