LC: Anyway, Karen, tell us what your name is, where you were born and when?
KJ: Okay, Karen Jacobs, the oldest of five girls from Cedric Jacobs who was a senior Elder here for Whadjuk people. I was born in Perth in 1965 so I’m the ripe age of 47 turning 48 in a few short months and continuously get reminded by my mother that I’m nearly 50! Actually I’ve been reminded by her for the last five years that I’m nearly 50!
LC: What was the date of your birthday sorry?
KJ: The date? 15 July 1965.
LC: You mentioned your dad. Tell us a bit about your mum and your dad.
