Renae Lamb,
CEO and Founder of Midnight Dreaming
I am a proud descendant of the Wiradjuri/Wongaibon people of central west NSW. My ancestral community ties are vast and wide within central west NSW, however my family and I strongly identify with the Dubbo, Tangie, Dandaloo and surrounding communities.
These communities hold significant cultural and family importance as this is where my father Charles (Charlie) Lamb was raised and the location where many family members have been laid to rest, including my paternal grandparents and their parents before them. I have a large immediate and extended family presence still within these communities.
I was born and raised of the homelands of the WANNARUA, AWABAKAL and WORIMI communities. This is where I attended school and graduated from university with a Bachelor of Arts Minor in Education and Major in Global Indigenous Studies. These lands are where I grew up watching my father run his farm. He has been my biggest inspiration in regards to achieving within my dreaming. Teaching me to never giving up. This is also where I have known birth and raised my three children, in the Karuah/Swan Bay community on Worimi country.
Country gives me deep pride and a sense of belonging when I feel my ancestors within, guiding me through my creations, and connections from loved ones up above. I feel strong and honoured with acceptance of the authentic and unique me, who loves to create and share for a better purpose of life and a stronger dreaming to survive. Without this there is no me and I have no purpose to breath.
Ngyaguyamilang, Dhlulbong.
Beautiful soul from my homeland the Wiradjuri people
