Mel Brown is a proud Australian Aboriginal Ngunnawal woman who tells her incredible story of her complex childhood, the challenges as identifying as Aboriginal in our country and the fight to keep her family whole despite these hardships. As a young child, Mel faced the anguish of domestic violence. Then as a young mother, she discovered the mystery of her ancestry without first knowing the adversity that comes with an Australian Indigenous identity. Mel takes you on a fascinating and at times heart-aching journey of her life and finding her place in the world.
“Shades Of Me” is a memoir full of discovering your self-worth, the importance of family and being an active member in your community, and how our beautiful and complicated world contains a lot more shades than just black and white.
