Tune into 100.9fm tonight from 7pm WST for Yorgas Yarning with your hosts Sharon G and Shazza Wood-Kenney as they interview Sharyn Egan, and Kim Collard.

⭐️ Sharyn Egan is a Noongar woman and a member of the Stolen Generation. Sharyn grew up in the New Norcia Mission School, and much of her artwork is a commentary on her life.

Sharyn has been awarded several prestigious and prominent public art commissions at the Perth Stadium, Elizabeth Quay, Yagan Square and Scarborough Beach redevelopment.

She is a frequent exhibitor and invited artist at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe and Bondi.

Sharyn’s passion for the arts includes running her own basket weaving workshops.

⭐️Kim Collard - A Great Man Honoured - he’s a Balladong-Wilman man, boasting a distinguished career spanning the public sector, higher education, and business, leaving an indelible mark on Aboriginal communities and broader society.

Transitioning from a boilermaker to the police force, Kim embarked on a decade-long academic journey at Curtin University, where he held pivotal roles in Indigenous cultural studies, preserving the Balladong dialect and educating others on First Nations culture.

Kim’s enterprising spirit flourished with the establishment of two successful businesses, Kulbardi and Kooya Australia Fleet Solutions, both making significant strides in the mining sector.

Leveraging his success, Kim created the Bibbulmun Fund, investing in community projects and returning one million dollars to support Aboriginal people, ranging from education initiatives to flood relief efforts in the Kimberley. The unique and innovative indigenous-led organisation has the key goal of facilitating positive change ‘for Aboriginal people by Aboriginal people’.

As an inadvertent mentor, Kim has paved the way for young Aboriginal entrepreneurs, offering guidance and employment opportunities, fostering a new generation of business leaders.

Over a decade of philanthropy, Kim has supported 19 charitable organisations, funding projects like the Pinnacle Foundation Bibbulmun Scholarship and essential medical equipment in remote areas.

Kim has also funded two dialysis machines in Cooper Peedy, so locals with renal failure can stay close to country for treatment, rather than travelling long distances to a capital city.

Kim’s trailblazing leadership in Indigenous business and philanthropy underscores his commitment to Aboriginal self-determination and long-term solutions, setting a precedent for Indigenous-led initiatives nationwide.
