About Me
Welcome to Jalayimiya Swim – the colourful creation of Brodie George, a Walmajarri woman from Fitzroy Crossing, nestled in the heart of The Kimberley, WA. My Aboriginal name, Jalayimiya, and my Skin Name, Nakarra, connect me deeply to my roots, my family, and my community.
Growing up, I was surrounded by the vibrant landscapes of The Kimberley, where colours are brighter, culture is rich, and art is everything. I spent my days with family, speaking our language, and watching the magic unfold at Mangkaja Arts. Art was everywhere, and it quickly became a part of me.
I paint the landscapes of my home through bold colours and unique designs inspired by my Walmajarri mob’s desert art – modern, fresh, and unapologetically bright. Though life eventually led me to Perth, where I’ve been for years now, my connection to Fitzroy Crossing is alive and strong, with family, culture, and country always close to my heart.
In 2022, after years of dreaming, I launched Jalayimiya Swim, my vision for a brand that celebrates Aboriginal culture, sustainability, and self-love. Here, we embrace every unique beauty standard and empower women to feel amazing in their own skin. My models are real people – friends and family – volunteering to push boundaries and showcase their natural beauty, free from editing and full of authenticity.
My mum Rhonda shares my love for fashion and colour (thanks, Mum!) and always has advice ready when I’m brainstorming new ideas. Then there’s my dad, Des, who builds, fixes, and even designed a hanger for our photoshoots. My brother Jack is the babysitter-turned-lash-model, always roped into whatever I need – no complaints (mostly!). And finally, the kids, my muses and little artists, love to jump in, adding their own touches to my artwork and inspiring me daily.
Together, we’re creating a community that’s about more than just swimwear – it’s about cultural pride, self-love, and having fun with fashion. So, here’s to celebrating culture, family, and every vibrant part of life – welcome to Jalayimiya Swim!
