When Kmart Came Calling: Rachael Sarra’s Art Is Changing Lives
Rachael Sarra knew that if she was going to make it as an artist a great product wasn't going to be enough. She needed to hustle.
So Rachael endeavoured to diversify her revenue streams.
She upped her engagement on social media, illustrated a book and boosted her brand through collaborations with the likes of Auspost, Hey Tiger and Kmart.
Rachael's work is authentic. It's vibrant, warm and incredibly lively with touches of pink. But it's also deeply personal as it merges her two worlds, that as a young Goreng Goreng woman and a proud Ipswich girl.
So what is it like working as an artist in 2021 when copying work has become common practice? Does she feel secure working in a service-based industry? And as a young First Nations woman with a growing platform does Rachael ever feel the pressure to represent her people?
Rachael Sarra joins Georgia Love...

Shelley Sullivan: The Woman Behind The World's First Tan In A Can
Shelley Sullivan is a serial entrepreneur. Long before she founded ModelCo and MCoBeauty, Shelley owned a modelling agency, it was here she found her vision for ModelCo.
When models were coming into Shelley's office with orange hands from fake tanning, she knew there had to be an easier, and cheaper option. So she made Tan Airbrush, the world's first tan in a can.
Today that tan is believed to be sold every 36 seconds.
It's no coincidence that ModelCo has been kicking goals for twenty years. They've been innovating products, understanding their consumer and collaborating with the likes of Hayley Bieber, Elle Macpherson and Karl Lagerfeld, they've even had Celeste Barber come on board as an ambassador.
So what are Shelley's best-kept secrets for anyone wanting to succeed in business? And if she could go back in time, would she change anything?
