Ashlee Donohue is a proud Dunghutti woman from Kempsey in New South Wales, and looks to Yuin/Wiradjuri Elder Bronwyn Penrith as a mentor, role model and friend.
A vocal advocate for women and domestic violence, Donohue is the former CEO of the Mudgin-Gal Aboriginal Women’s Centre. She thanks Penrith, who gave her a job in business administration at the centre back in 1997 – a job which she credits for changing her life.
