I acknowledge the sacred lands of the Turrbal and Jagera people on which I live, work and mother. I pay respects to and stand in solidarity with the traditional custodians in their campaign to decolonise and heal country and culture. Sovereignty was never ceded.

The Hold acknowledges all parents, their identities and the diversity of family structures in our modern world. Whilst mother, motherhood and she/her/hers pronouns may be used in some instances, The Hold supports and celebrates all parents, birthing folk and primary caregivers.
