— Appears in: Overland , Winter no. 243 2021; (p. 3-13) 'The story goes that a writer, and wannabe singer, dancer and actor (who screamed like Screamin' Jay Hawkins and pivoted like James Brown), and a real actor and wannabe director (you might know her from such TV shows as Prisoner, The Flying Doctors, and the cult film Little Miss Wonder), met at the Black Playwright's conference in 1989 in Canberra. They fell in love, talked politics, representation and storytelling, had a baby (well two - the second being Ilbijerri), fell out of love, and the rest is history. Well, that's one story.'

'It has been ten years since Lisa Bellear's too early death in 2006 during NAIDOC week, her favourite time of year. Her iconic poem A Suitcase Full of Mould presciently questions if she will life to 46, given this was the average life expectancy for Aboriginal women in Victoria in the 1990s. She died at 45.'
