Style Collective with Thelma Plum

Style Collective with Thelma Plum

Musician, songwriter, and Gamilaraay woman Thelma Plum first shot to fame as the winner of the inaugural Triple J National Indigenous Unearthed Music Awards, over 10 years ago. Since then she’s not only hitting the high notes in her career, but also using her profile to champion causes close to her heart. As part of Witchery’s Style Collective Series, we spoke to Thelma about why it’s so important to have diversity in the media, how fashion and music are intertwined, and what’s next.
