We first discovered Thomas Mayor as he spoke on the ABC’s Breakfast show about the book he launched on Father's Day, “Dear Son”, a compilation of 12 letters written by First Nations men to their sons.
We were absolutely captivated by his eloquence, serenity, and profound message.
We are thrilled and honoured that he has accepted the invitation to talk to us today about the beautifully written letters in “Dear Son”.
Thomas joins twelve other indigenous men of the stature of Stan Grant, Troy Cassar-Daley, John Liddle, Charlie King, Joe Williams, Yessie Mosby, Joel Bayliss, Daniel James, Jack Latimore, Daniel Morrison, Tim Sculthorpe, and Blak Douglas in addressing issues as important, relevant and poignant as domestic violence, coercive control, and toxic masculinity.
“I wanted [my son] to know how these things are passed on and how we can improve with empathy, perspective, and a background for why people behave the way they do,” Thomas said.
We are delighted to be able to help Thomas broadcast such an important message.
