Chelsea Watego takes us through her progression of coming to grips with how to survive and thrive as a colonised Blakfulla in the colony. From early attempts to prove her worth by outcompeting at the colonisers game to the realisation through support of strong black women leaders that black sovereignty is lived through our staunch survival, in the daily battles and the maintenance of deep connections and our Indigenous relational world view.
I cried early on as I identified elements of colonial violence I and my family suffered but had not recognised. I celebrated the blue sky moments, my heart swelled at the stories of Black fatherhood and strength demonstrated by facing the world each day. Finally I felt resolution to stay committed to struggle each day to preserve and build up on the work done by my ancestors to survive in this land and to stand up for our generations yet to come.
