BiographyHistory

'Renee Fogorty is a young Wiradjuri woman from the Lachlan River region of New South Wales. Renee started her writing and illustrating career at Rooty Hill High School. What began as a Year 12 project on a subject close to Renee’s heart turned into an important resource for the home and classroom about racism being painful and common amongst children today.'
