“Shades Of Me” a new memoir by Mel Brown

Literature

Mel’s publisher (Gelding Street Press) has described her as ““perhaps one of the most important people I have ever met. What she gives back to the Australian Aboriginal community has been immeasurable.”

She has single handedly kept hundreds of families together and whole communities from unravelling.

Mel is not only an author, she is also an artist and clairvoyant.  Mel talks about her new memoir, Shades of Me.
