First Peoples Rainbow Mob WA was founded by Jakob James & the Crew from Rainbow KINection in November 2018 after making WA LGBTQA+ history & with the help of many other members of the Rainbow Mob, entered the first ever Indigenous LGBTQA+ float in the 30 years Perth has held their Pride Parade, hosted by Pride WA.
"We need to create a legacy for all those who've since past have battled for LGBTQA+ rights of the Indigenous people" said Jakob in a recent interview with Rainbow KINection 100.9fm Noongar Digital Radio.
First Peoples Rainbow Mob WA hope to create a safe place and resource centre for the Indigenous LGBTQIA+ people, offer assistance, & give Our Mob the access to the life they deserve. Our rainbow Mob should be able to have the love, support, & compassion from their own peoples, so this is Our way of trying to achieve this life long dream of Noongar LGBTQIA+ Elder, Aunty Vanessa Smith, one of the first Indigenous Transwomen of Western Australia.
