Brooke Boney explains that viral moment on Today show

It was after a segment from tennis legend Pat Cash on his Australia Day “awakening”, that she felt compelled to say what the day meant to her.

“This date, I know it comes up every year and I’m not trying to tell everyone else what they should be doing … But I can’t separate the 26th of January from the fact that my brothers are more likely to go to jail than they are to go to school. Recirculated footage of the powerful on-air moment soon went viral after it broadcast in January. And now, the entertainment reporter has revealed why she said what she said and has opened up about her shocking experience with racism.Growing up the eldest of six children in housing commission in Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Boney told“Which is funny, right, because I’m the most caramel-coloured Aboriginal person you’d ever meet,” she told the newspaper.

“I don’t think they were being malicious or anything; the school just really didn’t know how to deal with it. It was easier to pretend it didn’t happen.”
