We Are Warriors: Through the Fire

Rapper, producer and radio host, Nooky tells the Yuin story of the black cockatoo to inspire Indigenous youth to see their potential and join the We Are Warriors movement.

“The story of the black cockatoo is a white cockatoo who sacrificed himself by flying through fire in order to help other people. Going through the fire was painful and torturous, but he made it out on the other side. He didn’t give up, he sang the rain. Carrying the lessons and scars, which changed his coat from white to black, he is now a symbol of hope and selflessness. In its essence, it’s a tale of persistence, unwavering strength and resilience. I went through the fire and We Are Warriors is what I carried with me. Believe me when I tell you though this is just the beginning.”
