Proud Adnyamathanha Woman, Marsha Uppill has over 25 years experience in working across all tiers of Government in areas that focus on Aboriginal affairs, social inclusion, workforce planning and reform, and strategic and systems cultural change.
Most recently, Marsha has worked in the areas of the Prevention of Violence against Women and Children and is currently developing the Gender Equity Framework for the @cityofgreatergeelong.
Marsha is a mother, wife, sister, daughter and aunty. Arranyinha is her traditional birth name, it means first born woman of her mother in Adnyamathanha language. Her mother was a survivor of the Stolen Generations with documented evidence of the horrific treatment at the hands of systems, authorities and people, and Marsha has made a commitment to educate by sharing the reality in order to impact sustainable generational change.
A natural-born story teller, Marsha has spoken at many forums and conferences on the topics of family violence, stolen generations, Aboriginal women, homelessness and workforce planning and development.
Public speaking is a way that Marsha is able to connect, engage and bring others on a journey of understanding Aboriginal people for the history that inspires them to want to be and shape the change in this generation.
A First Nations Woman determined to shake the planet and make this life matter in all aspects, in all areas and in all systems, through education, inspiration and empowerment, we are honoured to have Marcia as part of the Geelong Youth Innovation Summit 2019.
