A Northern Territorian, Lateesha is a proud Woolwonga and Kukatj woman, raised on Larrakia and Yolngu Land. Lateesha is a passionate advocate for education – particularly for young women – and the role empowering these young women plays in healing intergenerational trauma and strengthening communities. Which is why she established Wave of Change Consultancy Pty Ltd (2021) and founded the Lateral Empowerment Program (2022), as a way for her to influence meaningful waves of change to empower others.
As the mother of a young daughter, and coming from a large family of 6 siblings, Lateesha knows the importance of having strong role models as we walk in two worlds.
Lateesha has extensive experience working in the community with a focus on building models for change that deliver great outcomes. From concept through to development, implementation and evaluation, Lateesha thrives on bringing new ideas and fresh energy to “unsolvable” problems.
Lateesha’s vision is to influence generational change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through collaboration, consultation and empowerment.
