Ethnicity
Ally Award
Winner: Sarah Willis (MTVH)
Runner-up: Cris McGuinness
(Riverside)
The nomination statement for Sarah said that she has
a profound sense of commitment, passion and integrity to ensuring she uses her
voice to amplify the voice of colleagues and residents. She is unafraid of
having difficult conversation around race and how structural racism impacts and
unfairly disadvantages those from a diverse background.
Sarah recognises that being an ally is not just a
tick box exercise, but a life’s work that they are committed to.
Sarah has a passion for young people and championing
their voices within their organisation and communities.
