my name
‘Wisdom’ (so I’ve read anyway...)
my star sign
Virgo
my role in weeowiser
Project coordinator/ trainer & support person
funniest weeowiser moment
The late-night singing at the camp
the best thing about weeo wiser is
Seeing and hearing from girls who give a shit about themselves and won’t accept anything less than a relationship where they feel safe, respected and on equal terms with their partner- that’s real love.
how & why I got involved
I’ve been involved since the early days
when I got the job as the coordinator and trainer on the project in 2004. I was thrilled to be able to work in a preventative way with young women in Sydney’s West. I get to pour all my work, passion and energy into something so dear to my heart.
languages I speak
English & tiny bit of German
my dream holiday
Mexico
if I could invite anyone to dinner
My grandma Oma who has died and I would cook for her like she always did for me. She could meet my kids and partner and hopefully see that I turned out alright!
if I was mayor of Liverpool
Lobby hard for accessible, publicly owned and frequently run public transport that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week all over these suburbs with a range of affordable ticketing options, like 10 trip concessions.
