CaRrying the Embers FurtheR
Change doesn’t come from a single spark. it’s born from the steady, collective effort of tending the fire together, as one.
Not all stories are meant to stay close to the fire – some are carried by the wind, spreading their warmth to distant places, lighting new flames in unseen corners. This is the work of those who witness, who listen, who take the embers of Ngarra and send them further than we ever could.
To the journalists, writers, media voices, photographers, creatives who have shared Ngarra’s story – you are part of this fire. Every article, every interview, every feature does more than highlight the work; it breathes life into it, ensuring these young voices are not only heard but felt.
Through your words, your exposure, your support, more people are able to hear the stories. More hands are able to pick up the cameras. More young artists are able see that their stories matter, that their perspective holds weight, that their way of seeing the world is valued, is wanted, is needed.
Thank you for standing beside us in this work. For holding space. For carrying the embers forward.

thankyou
To those who have gathered around this fire, who have listened, shared, supported, & carried these stories further, we thank you.
Every ember of change begins with a story, and because of you, these stories are finding their way into the world. Whether through your voice, your platform, your generosity, or your belief in what we are building, you have become part of this weaving. You have helped keep the fire burning, helped amplify the voices that must be heard, and helped ensure that this work is not just seen, but felt by those who need it most.
This is not just a project. It is a movement, a living, breathing space of knowledge, memory, and future-building. And it thrives because of people like you.
Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for seeing the value in the wisdom that has been carried through generations. Thank you for honoring the storytellers, the artists, the Elders, the young ones, all those who hold the fire and those who are just learning to tend it.
Your support doesn’t just sustain us; it strengthens us. It reminds us that we do not do this work alone, that the fire is shared, and that together, we are building something that will last, and make a real difference.

because we can do more together,
as one, than alone.
join us in making a difference.
Every story carries its own kind of power, and every voice holds a truth that needs to be heard. When you join us, you’re not just stepping into a project – you’re stepping into a movement. It’s not just about words or images; it’s about the transformation, about creating spaces where young people from marginalized communities can share their stories in their own way, preserving the threads of culture and building bridges across the divides.
Your support amplifies their voices, nurtures the next generation of storytellers, building embassy between worlds that might otherwise never meet, and because of that scaling empathy that affects the global community, sharing an intercontinental common lore that has the power to affect us all.
So come sit with us around the fire. Together, we can create something greater – a world that listens, that holds space, that thrives in unity in its diversity – one story, one voice, one connection at a time.
help spread the word
This is how change begins.
One story, one frame, one fire at a time. If you are ready to help carry this work into new spaces, let’s connect. Together, we can share a story that matters.
If the fire we tend here at Ngarra sparks something deep within you – if the voices of these young artists stir an echo you can’t ignore – then we would love your help tp carry their stories forward. Whether through a feature, an interview, or a single conversation, your platform becomes another ember in the campfire.
It’s a way of ensuring these voices travel as far as they can, reaching hearts and minds in places they might never see, meeting people they may never have. By featuring Ngarra and their work, you don’t just highlight a project – you shine a light on the urgent issues we address: cultural respect, empowerment, and the kind of hope that grows from within a community’s own stories.
thankyou
