Grace Kemp embraces her identity as a Wiradjuri woman, navigating insecurities about heritage and appearance.
Embracing her size, looks and identity is an ongoing process for Grace Kemp.
The Canberra NRLW star, opening up for the first time about her struggle to fit in, is a proud Wiradjuri woman and former Wallaroo still learning about lost family history on dad's side.
And even then, she says her height advantage, Scottish heritage, and flowing red hair make her second guess whether she looks the part of a stereotypical Indigenous athlete.
Identity can be a highly charged subject for Indigenous people, but by bravely speaking to her own insecurities, Kemp wants to free others of the same burdens.
