Whadjuk Radio presenter/producer Ethel Wallam was awarded a 2007 NAIDOC Perth award in the Youth category for her work with the program.
Ms Wallam (29) said she was excited to receive the award for doing something she was so passionate about.
“I enjoy keeping indigenous people informed about special events and just getting their music played and letting the non-indigenous people know about it” she said.
MS Wallam said that raising her children – Rondelle (9), Jaeleigh (8) and Kenzi (5) – was also rewarding, and with the help of her family she is able to juggle the diiferent roles.
In the NAIDOC award winner’s summary Ms Wallam was praised as an “inspirational role model and leader within the Perth community”.
