FELICIA DJAMIRZE: Drug Trafficker, Miss Australia, Justice Advocate

Felicia Djamirze sits down with Abbie to discuss her incredible story, which she has detailed in her memoir Accessory. On paper, Felicia had the odds stacked against her. Growing up in a housing commission in Western Sydney, she did what she could to escape the cycle of poverty and violence at home. Felicia became a three-time Miss Australia pageant winner, but also became involved with the wrong side of the law. After a raid on her home left her with not only severe injuries, but also a drug supply sentence, Felicia was forced to re-think everything – eventually becoming a counsellor and advocate for women's justice.
