The internet has fallen in love Carol Rossetti and her message, and rightfully so. For the last week, the Brazilian Graphic Artist has been heralded, lorded, and virtually hugged by millions all over the world. The reason being: her series of illustrations featuring women of all kinds paired with the reality checks we all need. What started out as practice to hone her drawing skills has become a beautiful voice on feminism, ablelism, racism, and gender acceptance. It's something I support a million percent. It's something I would cover my walls with. It's something that made me feel weepy the moment I started looking at the images. I asked permission to share her work and when she shot back a "Yes!" I promptly collected a few of my favorites: There are dozens of other images just like these on her Facebook, and also on her Tumblr. I would recommend looking at both. One of my favorites is this one addressing "Real Men Love Curves."As I scrolled through her work, I recognized several of these women (like Whitney Thore) and I started to wonder what my image would say. Truthfully, there are multiple things to say. But, because I already identified with so many of these, I forced myself to think of another area of social commentary that has attempted to play a role in my life. I chose: "Jes has both a mental illness and a million dreams. The world tells her that having a diagnosis means that you're broken and are unlikely to succeed. Jes, that is bullshit. You know your brain better than anyone and you know that it's brilliant. You also know that something perceived as a weakness can be re-framed as a super strength! You are capable of anything you put your mind to and more! Get it, girl." If you were to make an image of yourself for yourself... what would it say? Write it out for me and leave it below. It feels really good to identify, clarify and share... Trust me. And lets all send Carol a hug right now, because that woman is a rockstar.

'And I said that to this old fella to this old fella at the ticket box: I want you to come and fix this. Take these ropes off! What do you think we are? Our money is as good as anyone else's and we want to sit where we want to sit. I kept standing there in front of the ticket office, and by then my sister-in-law was there too. The two of us, making trouble! And my poor little heart, I don't know how it stayed in my chest' Isabel Flick was always making trouble. This is her story, told in her own words and those of her family and friends, beginning on the riverbank camps of Collarenebri, where at an early age she was barred from formal education and threatened by the Protection Board with 'removal'. She then moves from the harsh controls of Toomelah Mission to the cotton fields of Wee Waa, from cooking for the upper classes in Rose Bay to marching in the street protests of Redfern and lobbying in the halls of Parliament House. She grew up to challenge the suffocating racism of rural Australia, demanding desegregation and justice in education, work, health and before the law. But Isabel's courageous fight was not only directed at the non-Aboriginal community. She was not afraid to speak openly about injustice among her own people. All who knew Isabel were moved by her. She was the hub of a wide network within the Aboriginal community, linking the many people with whom she had worked and campaigned. She was extraordinary too in developing a strong network among non-Aboriginal people. And eventually, returning to the riverbank of the Barwon, Isabel's enormous political experience and courage were acknowledged by the non-Aboriginal people of her town. It was Isabel who was chosen by Collarenebri whites and blacks as their spokesperson during a crisis which threatened them all. Reflecting on the meaning of community, country and tradition, this beautifully crafted story is truly an inspiration - one of love, humour and courage, and always a profound sense of justice and understanding. 'If I had to name five people who are true leaders, Isabel would be one of them.' Linda Burney, MP
