Antoinette Lattouf Instagram – She’s staunch. She’s real. She stands tall in a sea of gutless wonders and performative feminists who think cupcake selfies and silence count as progress.
Beyond honoured to host a Q&A with Vanessa Turnbull Roberts for #AllAboutWomen ‘They Still Take the Children Away’.
Vanessa is the definition of solidarity—a unity built on shared purpose and unwavering action. She embodies allyship, standing with and for those who are marginalised, even when the fight isn’t hers alone.
She’s a formidable First Nations lawyer who has turned her own painful experience—being taken from her parents at just 10 and forced into state ‘care’—into a lifelong fight for Indigenous children here and across the world.
While I was there to interview and hold space for Vanessa as she shared the harrowing reality of stolen and incarcerated children, she surprised everyone by kicking things off by gifting me a jacket from a Palestinian designer. This was a powerful gesture to ensure we never accept the erasure of vulnerable children, no matter where they are.
That moment was true allyship in action—a recognition of shared suffering and intertwined struggles. A powerful reminder that justice and human rights are not selective; they must be fought for everywhere, by all of us.
Allyship. Action. Always. (The cute selfies come later.)
Yallah buy her book: Long Yarn Short.
