Bianca Hunt is a proud Kamilaroi, Barkindji, Ballardong and Wadjak Woman who was born and raised in Meanjin (Brisbane). She graduated from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in 2017 with a double degree, Bachelor of Business (majoring in Management) and Bachelor of Creative Industries (majoring in Entertainment Industries). Bianca caught the attention of Australians in early 2020 when she was brought on by the AFL to co-host Yokayi Footy. Prior to her TV career, she worked at SBS as an Indigenous engagement coordinator, and at AIME as co-CEO. Desirai Saunders is a Gunggari digital illustration artist based in Meanjin (Brisbane). Art helps her express herself when she can't find the words to do so – she often refers to her works as fragments of her emotional states. She hopes her illustrations empower people who can see themselves in the art and that it gives them strength when they need it most. She enjoys creating powerful, diverse women in her artwork and representing her connection to culture.
