A bit about Aaron
My name is Aaron Percival and I am a Gamilaraay man from Coonabarabran in north-west New South Wales. I am a proud father and uncle with a passion for Indigenous health advocacy, education and most sports. My hope for this podcast is to help as many people as possible to begin their journey in understanding we're all the same—same but different. And that is perfectly fine.
