Going from hunting and gathering food in a close-knit community to navigating the busy streets of the city was a tough move for Wirangu, Narranga and Wangkatha woman, Rhian Miller.
But it was made a bit easier when Rhian found a mentor who helped her navigate this new world and told her she could be anything she set her mind to.

Guests:
Rhian Miller, Wirangu, Narranga and Wangkatha woman, CEO of Epic Pathways
