Lily Hodgson

My name is Lily Hodgson, and I am a Dyiramadilinya Wiradjuri Malungan (proud Wiradjuri woman). I come from a very strong family who has survived the Stolen Generation. Inter-generational trauma, identity stripping and poor physical/mental health is the common theme for most First Nation’s families & individuals, especially mine & myself. My goal in this life is to show others how to break free from these commons; actively showing others how & that you can be stronger than you believe you are. I love connecting with people, connecting to culture, and in doing so through my art and my voice.
