Sherri Shiosaki-Gibson

Sherri Shiosaki-Gibson is a fourth-generation Nikkei who now lives in Geraldton, Western Australia and frequently travels to Broome to spend time with her family. Sherri grew up surrounded by stories of resilience as her mother and grandparents were interned at Tatura Internment Camp 4 during World War II. As a child, she would listen intently to her grandmother and extended family recount their experiences. Despite the hardship of captivity, they shared memories filled with humour, strength, and remarkable endurance. Sherri continues to marvel at their ability to find light, even in the darkest moments.
