Vanessa Kalau

Meet our WA Creative Finalist Vanessa Kalau! 🎨❤️

Vanessa Kalau, a 23-year-old testament to the resilience of my parents, refugees who escaped Congo’s war. For 9 years, they endured the harshness of a Zambian refugee camp, clinging to hope for their children. I spent my formative years there, with hazy memories of a distant past. Now, free from those constraints, I pursue my studies in Urban Planning at Curtin university. I aim to leverage my privilege to advocate for the children of Congo, offering them the opportunities denied to many. My journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the promise of a better tomorrow.
