Venerated artist, writer, Aboriginal elder and 2016 Victorian Senior Australian of the Year Uncle Jack Charles released his memoir Born-Again Black Fella last week.
To celebrate, The Big Issue brings us Letter to My Younger Self, in which Charles details how he went from a life of great disadvantage to becoming everything he is today.
