⚫️ 🟡 🔴 TEAM HIGHLIGHT

Our Enable WA Service Coordinator, Elle, is part of a powerful First Nations-led roller derby collective, Team Indigenous Dreaming - Roller Derby.

Team Indigenous Dreaming brings together First Nations skaters and officials from across Oceania, grounded in culture, community and connection to Country. The team exists to create visibility and pathways in sport, and to strengthen belonging for Blak and Brown skaters.

This year, the team will travel to Kaurna Country in South Australia for The Great Southern Slam tournament. Getting there takes significant coordination behind the scenes, including travel, accommodation and uniforms, to ensure the team can show up together, prepared and united.

🛼 While Elle is not competing this year, she continues to support the team in other ways and remains closely connected to the journey, supporting Enable's values towards Reconciliation. Go Elle!
