When Amy was six-years-old, she made an important decision. As suggested by her nan, she would, "go to university", to bring herself and her family out of poverty.
Amy's parents lived with trauma, addiction, incarceration and poor mental health. They taught her how to survive systems she says are rigged against First Nations people.
She has earned three university degrees, yet some people find it hard to reconcile that fact, with the events of her childhood.
Guest:
