With gratitude, Adele lives on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar and pays respect to Elders past and present of this Country and the many First Nations custodians of so-called Australia.

Adele has worked in arts, human rights and social justice for many years as a senior executive. Having worked in leadership development, human rights, women’s health, and domestic, family, and sexual violence (FDSV), Adele commenced a PhD (temporarily stopped for health and personal issues) investigating the phenomenon of FDSV in Australia. 

As a writer, artist, consultant, speaker, and facilitator, Adele brings a commitment to generative curiosity and amplifying the voices and stories which are often excluded, deprioritised, or devalued. There are no voiceless, there are those who are silenced or unheard.

Primarily writing on human rights and social justice themes, Adele uses storytelling in non-fiction, poetry and performance writing forms to explore identity, the politics of existence, and the integration of personal and shared histories. 

They share their journey as a disabled, chronically ill, person of colour living in art, community, and hope for transformative futures.

Returning

After a prolonged period of serious illness, my ongoing recovery journey has been more complicated and slower than I had hoped. I now manage my availability and workload to prioritise health and wellbeing. I warmly encourage you to do so too and I hope you will find me to be welcoming, patient, and understanding as you work in ways that align with your wellbeing and values.
