Welcome back! Today I am joined by the very talented Emily Havea. Emily is an actor, performer, singer, writer, dancer, aerobics instructor, runner (as in set runner), photographer, drag king - the list literally goes on and does not stop.


You may have seen her on tv in Wentworth or The Secrets She Keeps or you may have seen her in our Black Birds show, Brown Skin Girl. Emily, Angela Nica Sullen and myself initially wrote the show in 2016, and since then it’s had three sold out seasons and may soon be getting another life.


In the short time I’ve known Emily she has evolved and absolutely stepped into her own; her own cultural identity as a Tongan Australian, her sexuality, her feminine and masculine energies and her abundant creativity. We talk about all this and more in today’s episode, and can I just say when I was editing this and listening back I couldn’t stop smiling. Also! Emily is currently in quarantine in Perth, getting ready to rehearse and perform in a production of Oklahoma, so when you listen to this and you feel some type of way make sure you send a little message to Em or tag her on IG because quarantine gets lonely!
