Name: Joella Warkill

Identity: Aboriginal/South Sea Islander

You might remember me from previous DYA projects such as: Open to TOPP (APAM 2018) or Blak Friday, the night First Nations took over Southbank for Festival 2018

Last movie I watched: The Heat - Comedy movies are my fav. But we can’t be friends if you haven’t seen Black Panther!

If you could invite 3 people to dinner, who would they be?: My two grandparents that are still here, and J Cole

What has been your fave DYA performance to date?: Favourite performance was blood and horror, where I stood in a room with Ryan Presley’s artwork - best feeling!

Any advice for other First Nation's Youth: Believe in yourself, and be proud of who you are.

Who should we profile next and why?: I nominate Aurora, because I’d love to see what she’d say and get to know her a bit more
