💬 In this powerful episode of Unbreakable Voices, we sit down with Monwell, a proud Torres Strait Island man whose story is a journey through pain, survival, and ultimately, healing.

Growing up surrounded by violence, alcohol, and the silent weight of mental health struggles, Monwell learned early on how to hide his hurt, often behind humour and a smile. Like many of our brothers, he carried his trauma quietly, unsure of how or if he could ever be free from it.

But today, Monwell shares his truth with strength and clarity. His story is not just about where he’s been, but about the power of owning your pain and turning it into purpose.

🎧 Through lived experience and cultural strength, Monwell offers hope, honesty, and healing, especially for our mob who may still be suffering in silence.

🛑 Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental health struggles. Please listen with care.

Rheumatic Heart Disease in Aboriginal People including my own family is a National Disgrace.Rheumatic Heart Disease is 100% preventable. Yet, it continues to destroy the lives of Aboriginal children, families, and communities across Australia at rates you would never see in non-Indigenous communities.The video shared by is not just a tragic one-off. It’s a mirror of what’s happening every day in our communities. Young people suffering with RHD caused by poverty, overcrowded housing, and a broken health system are often ignored, misdiagnosed, or treated with suspicion instead of care.This isn’t a failure of medicine it’s a failure of humanity.It’s racism. It’s systemic neglect. It’s discrimination dressed up as policy and protocol.When our mob walk into hospitals, they are judged before they are helped. They are seen as a “problem” before they are seen as people. And then they wonder why they don’t feel safe in clinical settings. Why our people stay away. Why they don’t trust the system.Australia should be ashamed. The public health system should hang its head in shame.Because RHD in Aboriginal communities is not just a health issue it’s a human rights issue.Our people deserve safe, respectful, and equal healthcare.
