“I told her ‘because God gave you that skin colour, because you’re a proud blackfella like mum’.”
Since speaking to the media, Samara and Rachel have received hundreds of messages of support online. Samara has been invited to perform in the Disney on Ice Dare to Dream show and indigenous rapper Adam Briggs has invited her to star in his new music video — she will play a young Cathy Freeman.
“We are very overwhelmed and shocked by the kindness of people. I didn’t think people would care so much,” Ms Muir told The Courier.
“I can’t express how much it has meant to us. I just thought it would be a story people would click past and forget. To know that she has touched so many people … that they see her how I see her, is just incredible.”
Ms Muir said she reads all the messages to her daughter.
“After every message Samara smiles and says ‘thankyou your majesty’,” Ms Muir said.
“She is back to her proud, beautiful Aboriginal self.”
Yes baby, do it to it with your beautiful indigenous self. We all love you.
