This companion resource, developed by Tammy Baart of Blak Ignited and Birdy Bird of The Land Back Foundation, is a visual map of the Personal Journey framework introduced in their workbook on doing business on Country.
The map sets out the four stages, awareness, knowledge, challenge and connection, and organises a set of curated resources against each one: things to read, watch or listen to, reflection activities, actions to take, and ways to share what you have learned. It works as a quick-reference guide to the fuller workbook, rather than a standalone piece of writing.
