A microphone for Tibetan voices

Last week, a young Tibetan woman won the Australian Migration and Settlement Award for Journalism Excellence 2019 for her story about how newly-arrived Tibetans in Sydney’s Northern Beaches are diving into Australian swimming culture.

Congratulations! We are so proud of her and wish her well in her exciting career.

What the award means:

“Personally, this award is a driving force for me to tell more Tibetan stories to the wider Australian community. I have been working in this industry for over a year now, so I’m really an amateur in terms of experiences. But with this recognition, I’m determined to use the platform I have to share more unique Tibetan stories.

It was a proud and humbling moment to face the Prime Minister, the Leader of Opposition and all the distinguished guests from across Australia attending the award ceremony and to be able to show that telling Tibetan stories matter.”
