I’m Khushbhu — also known as Khush or Khushi.
Born in India within a Kalbeliya Sapera community (an Indigenous nomadic tribe of low-caste status in Indian society, often referred to as the “gypsies of India”), I am shaped by the half Adivasi Dalit, nomadic tribal ancestry of my motherline. I walk a path few from my lineage have walked. As the first woman in my community to build a life in Australia and access ‘formal’ education, I hold this privilege with responsibility … fuelling my commitment to justice, representation, and embodied freedom through dance, yoga, storytelling, art, activism and thoughtful exploration.
