MyGreat Story brings UN Human Rights’ global #StandUp4Migrants initiative to Australia. In partnership with Love Frankie, the campaign aims to build human rights-based narratives and promote a culture of welcoming migrants in Australia – by using food to create common ground and a safe space to reimagine dialogue on migration.

MyGreat Story features eight recognisable Australians across the fields of sport, fashion, food, art and culture, including artist Emmanuel Asante, hip hop artist and producer Sukhdeep Bhogal (LFresh), chef Alvin Quah, pro surfer Ace Buchan, fashion designer Gary Bigeni, and musicians Lara Andallo,  A.Girl and Charlie Collins. Together they represent the diverse migrant community in Australia, coming from Ghanaian, Filipino, Indian, Malaysian, South African, Maltese, Polynesian, and Indian backgrounds.

Meeting for the first time, together, they share stories and recipes, showing how we can all find commonalities and connect when we make room for each other over a meal.
