Proud Samep woman and changemaker Libby Cook-Black joins the podcast for a powerful and deeply personal episode about sport, identity, and creating change.

Born on Thursday Island and raised across two worlds, Libby has worn many hats—former Australian Rugby League Jillaroo, Queensland Reds Rugby Sevens player, and participant in the Indigenous Marathon Foundation. But it's her role as the founder of The Female Co, a not-for-profit focused on bridging the opportunity gap for women and girls in regional and remote communities, that is making waves across Australia.

A 2025 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award Queensland Finalist, Libby speaks candidly about:

• Her sporting journey as a First Nations woman
• The stark realities of limited resources in remote Australia
• The moment she realised she needed to build something bigger
• Why equity and opportunity are at the heart of everything she does

This is more than just a conversation—it’s a call to action.
