Celebrating miyanda-ru (Father’s) Day with Gratitude and Pride

Sep 1, 2024

At Murawin, we hold deep respect and gratitude for the miyanda-ru* (fathers), father figures, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, and sons who play such vital roles in our lives, both within our team and across the communities we serve. This Father’s Day, we celebrate these incredible men who embody the strength, care, and dedication that our families and communities rely on.

As a family business, Murawin is built on the foundation of strong generational and community bonds. We take immense pride in the father figures within our team, who not only excel in their professional roles but also lead with love and integrity in their personal lives. These men are not just fathers; they are role models, mentors, and changemakers who courageously and effectively collaborate with their partners and families to break down gender stereotypes.

Reflecting on the 2022 NAIDOC theme—Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!—we see these values in action every day. The fathers in the Murawin family are champions of institutional and structural change, working tirelessly to create a better future for all and today we celebrate you!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the miyanda-ru* within our network. Your hard work, love, and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we are proud to stand beside you in this journey.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Murawin—thank you for your unwavering support, strength, and love.
