Award winning actress, Shari Sebbens, will be the keynote speaker at The Long Walk Women’s Luncheon to be held in Melbourne on Friday 11 October, 2013.

Shari, a proud Bardi Jabirr-Jabirr woman, was born and raised in Darwin. In 2013, she was awarded the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Outstanding New Talent at the Logie Awards for the television production, Redfern Now. She was also in the highly successful film, The Sapphires.

Proudly presented by the Victorian Electoral Commission, The Long Walk Women’s Luncheon will host Shari and beautiful showgirl Casey Donovan as well as AFL and Essendon Football Club Champion Michael Long this year.

The Long Walk is a charity inspired by Long’s walk to Canberra in 2004 to get the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people back on the national agenda. The charity’s purpose is to raise awareness for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wellbeing.

Now in its ninth year, The Long Walk Women’s Luncheon is a celebration of the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. A unique, awareness-raising event, the luncheon brings together Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal women from all walks of life to be inspired, network and to celebrate.
