Voices Of Young Refugees: Akec Makur Chuot

We're excited to welcome Akec Makur Chuot from Richmond Football Club AFL Women's competition. Born in war-torn South Sudan Akec spent 11 years of her childhood in a Kenyan refugee camp, before arriving in Australia at the age of 12.

Through sheer determination, a life-long can-do attitude and family support, Akec has overcome Incredible hurdles to become the first African-Australian woman drafted into the Inaugural AFL Women's competition.

We invite young people to share their own experience at this interactive event.

We're delighted to announce Sobur Dhieu from 'Girl Chat' will host the Q&A.
