“Aunty Munya is very engaging and easy to listen to. The key take-away for me was to keep a check on my unconscious bias and to listen and reflect with an open mind. I would tell anyone considering this program that they will absolutely learn something new from this training!”

An Allyship Success Story
Evolve’s co-Directors Carla Rogers and Aunty Munya Andrews met in 2011 while working together on a Community Engagement project in remote WA. They knew right away that they shared the same values and vision of a kinder, more inclusive Australia.
Aunty Munya Andrews is an Aboriginal Elder originally from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Despite growing up socially disadvantaged, she has obtained degrees in anthropology and law and is an accomplished author, educator and sought after speaker.
Carla Rogers is an award-winning program designer, facilitator and community engagement specialist. Despite being non-Indigenous, she grew up with a strong connection to Country and longing to get closer to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture.
Together, our co-Directors bring a wealth of lived experience, authentic cultural knowledge and they model successful black and white partnerships, Reconciliation and Allyship. They created their cultural awareness training programs to share their love of Indigenous culture and to facilitate Reconciliation and Allyship.
