About the event
Dear Son: An Intimate Conversation
What does it truly mean to guide, love, and pass down strength to the next generation?
Step into a space of profound storytelling, raw honesty, and shared wisdom as we celebrate the powerful second edition of Dear Son. Hosted by celebrated author Thomas Mayo, this exclusive afternoon panel brings together contributors Lauren Appo, Kaleb Mabo and Isaac Drandic for an unscripted, deeply moving conversation on First Nations fatherhood, family, identity, and legacy.
Dear Son opened heart-opening dialogues across Australia—and this event brings those vital stories to life off the page. Whether you are a parent, mentor, story-lover, or simply looking to connect with extraordinary insights on culture and family, you will walk away moved, inspired, and deeply connected.
