EPISODE 1: Shanna Whan, Sober in the Country
✊🏾
Shanna Whan @sober_in_the_country, a woman that lives on Gamilaroi country of North Western NSW, says she is a ''very unlikely national spokesperson for change when it comes to the complex subject of our great love affair with booze in the bush".
✊🏾
It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to yarn with Shanna, the founder of the not-for-profit Sober in the Country Ltd (SITC) who also created the campaign ‘OK2SAYNO’ which is making sure that we are putting our mates and their health first.
✊🏾
Shanna almost lost her own life to alcohol addiction in 2015 and man did she turn her life around, and for the better of many! In 2021, Shanna was recognised with the NSW Australian of the Year "Local Hero" award! Huge congratulations Shanna!
