The stigma attached to having a mixed-race child caused Caroline’s maternal mother to give her for adoption at only a few months old.

Her adoptive parents endured being snubbed by neighbours, confused as to why they hadn’t adopted a white baby. Nonetheless, Caroline’s parents couldn’t have been more loving and offered support and encouragement in her upbringing and development.

Born a twin in Zambia to an African mother and an Australian father, Nalishebo and her siblings moved with their father to The Northern Territory, Australia aged 13.

Dealing with the emotional tear from their mother 7000 miles away, they had to endure racial suffering in the Australian outback.

But amidst the emotional pain and suffering, she carved a road to success, representing Australia in Miss world 1999 and more recently receiving her doctorate degree and title as Dr Nalishebo Elliott.

Nonetheless, historical wounds can take their time to heal.

We’d thought we’d just summarise briefly the last 5 episodes and bring to a close the family season of the race dilemma. Although closure is not something that is written in stone, we hope the story may continue...

But for now, we will broaden the conversation out further afield to people outside the family who have shown an interest in sharing their stories.
