At her local supermarket, Evelyn Billy looked around and saw food from all cultures — except hers.
Evelyn Billy was standing in the food court of her local shopping centre when she got an idea she couldn't shake.
But it's more than a business — it's about culture, connection and keeping the story of her ancestors alive."I said 'I'm from Torres Strait'. They looked at me and they said 'where is that? Is that in Australia?'," she said.There are many non-Indigenous Australians who want to know more, but the challenge is getting the knowledge out there, Ms Billy says.
"It unites me and my husband and kids. When we cook our meal there's a different connection you can't explain, it's just pure love," she said.
