Studio 10 host Narelda Jacobs hopes her family is proud of her Indigenous activism after she spoke about changing the date of Australia Day during a TV segment last week.

The 43-year-olds father Cedric Jacobs was a Whadjuk Nyoongar man and member of the Stolen Generations, while her mother migrated to Australia from Northern Ireland with her family.

For a long time Narelda celebrated January 26 and decided to turn my back on Invasion Day or Survival Day events that acknowledged Indigenous peoples trauma from colonisation. Years later she realised her misguided belief that I had to embrace January 26, and wished she had acted sooner.

One of my biggest regrets was not going to a Survival Day concert with my dad, she told HuffPost Australia.
