Green Tribe

Chef

A caterer by day, Faith is juggling more than a few plates in the air. Alongside the business she works in with her husband, Faith home schools four of her five children, while also working in two other family businesses.

“So being a chef and running your own business is highly stressful, but I am always in control and when the fire is hot in my kitchen, I'm cool, calm and collected and that's how I'm going to play Survivor.”

Faith’s childhood was one on the road in a travelling country folk music family band. Alongside her parents and three siblings, Faith toured Australia from the age of 7 living what she describes as the gypsy life in a caravan. The Lees played music in pubs and clubs across the country, and she says the unconventional hours and life on the road has prepared her well for Survivor.

“Travelling taught me the most resilience. It taught me that there is no limit to how far I can go so I can push myself when things are hard, I just don't have that limit. I can work hard. And so Survivor, for me - piece of cake.”

Now living in Parkes, NSW, with her family, Faith, 34, says she’s an open book, and will be tough to beat.

“I don't really have fears. I think fear is for weak people. No, I don't like weak people. So prepare to be voted out. If you play weak, you're out the door.”

And with redemption at play, Faith is pulling out all the stops to win.

“I've spent my life living a really particular, peculiar life to a lot of people. And with that has come a lot of judgment. I'm here to prove that there is literally not one way to do anything. You can work your path however you see fit, and you can get the result that you want.”
