The Former Miss Australia Who Was Convicted Of Drug Dealing

Felicia Djamirze has lived many lives—counsellor, women’s justice advocate, three-time Miss Australia titleholder, and convicted drug dealer. Raised in a tough Sydney neighbourhood where crime and addiction were part of daily life, Felicia grew up believing survival was the best she could hope for. When her looks opened doors, she stepped through, even when they led into dangerous territory.

In her memoir Accessory, she shares her raw and unfiltered story: a childhood shaped by chaos, a youth spent among drug dealers and bikies, and the quiet moment that changed everything.

Felicia joins us to talk about resilience and reinvention. You can find out more about her book Accessory here.
