In 1999, Megan Davis one of four global fellowships with the United Nations. Landin in Geneva with nothing but $40 in her pocket, she found herself working on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Since then, she has been appointed to the Prime Minister's Referendum Council and co-chair for the Uluru Dialogue.
The Uluru Statement from the Heart, issued to the Australian public in 2017, calls for a constitutionally enshrined First Nations Voice to Parliament, and for Makarrata - a coming together after a struggle - through a process of treaty-making and truth-telling.
"We felt we needed to write something powerful, to persuade the Australian people to support us, like they did in 1967. Because politicians just won't," Davis says.
Living Black is Australia's longest-running current affairs program hosted by Karla Grant.
NITV is Australia's Indigenous television channel, a part of the SBS network.

Two strong women, who have seen the determined reoccupation of the Australian political space by First Nations peoples over the past 250 years, now applying their incisive intellects and the persuasive communication skills honed by 60,000 years of storytellers, as if just for this critical moment in our history
