Sammie Le Gallais is a young wahine of many talents; a Clinical Psychology student, one of our very own Youth Development Workers here at Dear Em, and an incredibly talented creative and musician. In late 2023 Sammie released her debut album, MARS IN SCORPIO. - we sat down to talk to her about her new album, and how music has played a role in her life and healing journey.
Healing is less like a choose-your-own-adventure - think of healing as a blank page, a story you get to write. This is my story of finding strength to heal in my own unique way.
We give it to you straight
This week Em wants to consider all contributing factors to our community’s mental health. This discussion will focus on relationships, how to keep them healthy, and how to make sure they are empowering, not draining.
On the 2nd of December, members of Dear Em along with volunteers ‘yarn bombed’ a tree outside East Coast Bays Library. Our art installation was created to be a message of hope for women and girls impacted by sexual violence, in support of the United Nations ‘16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence’.
While crime has been a major topic this election season, issues relating to sexual violence have been largely invisible. In response to this lack of dialogue, Dear Em surveyed political parties regarding their sexual violence policies relating to consent law reform and education and how the justice system handles sexual violence.
