THE PERFORMER
Taking you on a journey of Australia’s First Nation dreamtime through an interactive and vibrant experience, Majeda Beatty presents both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island cultures as well as sharing her perspective on being an indigenous millennial woman. She believes in the importance of cultural pride and carrying on past traditions as well as moving forward in a modern world.

Majeda is a Sydney-based singer, actress, and dancer who comes from a proud Wuthathi mother, her roots stemming from Far North Queensland, and an African American father. Growing up she was taught the importance of her culture by her mother through movement, song, and storytelling. At five years of age, Majeda started performing in schools with her family’s cultural dance group and over the years her talents have seen her perform over a wide variety of mediums. In recent times she has become well known for her starring role in the ABC3 Drama series ‘Ready For This’.
