About Banks;

I’m a proud Barrangam, Kamilaroi woman.
My story is one of strength, resilience, and deep love for my culture.

I lost my mother at six years old due to mental health struggles and spent much of my youth moving from house to house, never quite knowing where I belonged.

Before my marriage, I survived a domestic violent relationship — an experience that shaped my strength and fuels my desire to inspire hope for other women.

I also made the life-changing decision to become sober over five years ago. That choice gave me the clarity and stability I needed to heal, grow, and become the mother, wife, and businesswoman I am today.

Today, I am a proud mother of two sons, raising them with a proud Gomeroi man and grounded in culture, family, and Country.
My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s filled with purpose, pride, and gratitude.

Everything I create through Banksia Nean carries that story. A story of survival, love, and the power of culture.

With Every Step, We Give Back

We donate a portion of every sale to support Indigenous high school students. Having faced her own challenges during her final years of school, Banks knows the power of education to create opportunity and hopes this initiative helps future generations achieve their dreams.
