‘If You Can’t See Yourself, You Only Have The Imaginings Of Others’: Moreblessing Maturure

Zimbabwean/Australian advocate, artist, writer, co-founder of Folk Magazine and TEDx speaker Moreblessing Maturure and Diversity Arts Australia Executive Director Lena Nahlous are working hard to change that, as they told Future Women’s Sydney Social Club last week.
