Riley Callie Resources came about from our desire to introduce young children to a fun and engaging way of learning Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) which incorporates Indigenous thinking and contexts. We firmly believe that STEM provides an ideal platform for educators to introduce children to the rich depth of knowledge and unique perspectives that Indigenous Australia has to offer.

We are also passionate about providing educators with authentic Indigenous resources which make it easy to bring Indigenous perspectives into their classrooms. We want to see the rich depth of knowledge held by Indigenous Australia shared with all children and youth in Australia.

My name is Bec and I am the creative behind First Nations Fashionista. I am a proud Aboriginal woman with cultural and traditional connections to the Yirrganydji and Wulgurukaba peoples in Far North Queensland.

My background is in Education and I live with my family on the unceded lands of the Gubbi Gubbi / Kabi Kabi peoples.

I started weaving and making earrings as a form of self care and a way to unwind. I created custom pieces of jewelry for family and friends and launched First Nations Fashionista this year at the Gathaa First Nations Markets, Sunshine Coast. I really enjoy creating unique pieces and love how this has developed into a little blak business to keep our family busy on weekends!
