Everyone was a kid, once. It's time to explore the lessons from our childhood.
Who were you as a kid? What was your life like? What did you dream and hope for? What came true and what did not? And what did you learn along the way?
A three-part public conversation hosted by Geoff Hutchison that explores who our young selves were and what became of them.
The second of these conversations is with Glenda Kickett.
Meet Glenda Kickett
Glenda Kickett is a Whadjuk and Ballardong woman from the Noongar Nation. She is the Chairperson of NAIDOC Perth and has worked for more than twenty years, in out-of-home care and family support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.
The story of Glenda’s childhood is a remarkable one. Taken into care, she remembers being shy lost and lonely. There was great self-doubt, but over time that has become strong self-belief and a story of extraordinary resilience.
Meet your host
Geoff Hutchison has been a familiar voice on Perth radio for many years as the host of the ABC Morning Programme and then Drive Show. Before that, he was the ABC’s Europe correspondent and a reporter on the 7.30 Report.
Over that time, he interviewed the good and the great; the famous and the infamous – but his real love was always the curious conversation that explored what lay behind the public face. What inspired a person and what underpinned who they are today?
Since his retirement from the national broadcaster Geoff has been keen to take more intimate conversations into the public space. His upcoming three-part series “Everyone was a kid, once.” at WA Museum Boola Bardip promises to be a memorable event.
You are going to be fascinated by his guests.
