One of our strongest advocates following her passion, asiping towards keeping traditional language strong, wishing her all the best in her endeavours to support Aboriginal Languages in the Kimberley Region ❤️
We are happy to announce that at our Board meeting in Rubibi (Broome) last week, the wonderful Janella Mitchelson (nee Isaac) was re-elected as Chair of the Kimberley Language Resource Centre.
Janella has been a committed, inspirational and highly skilled Director and Chairperson for the last two years, so we are immensely pleased to have her continue.
Janella is a custodian of Mayala with connections to Bardi, Jawi and Nimanboor and speaks passively in her Bardi language. Professionally, Janella is a Community Navigator in Ardyaloon Community and a Cultural Navigator for Mayala PBC.
In addition to all this she is a loving and devoted mother, grandmother and foster parent to her family of thirteen!
KLRC are lucky to have such a tireless and passionate advocate leading the way.
