There’s a people choice award so hop online and support. Kerry volunteers on our board and her business @mandanga natural skincare produces indigenous skin care products. And in typical Kerry fashion she's not just helping improve outcomes for First Nations people across Australia in the bushfood and botanical space but wearing and promoting First Nation businesses. In this case Saretta Art & Design
