Leah reflects on the slow process of healing from settler colonial injuries caused by assimilation when she moved from Tuvalu to Wadawurrung Country as a child. In discussing narrative technology, decompressing white fragility, and the role of the moon in understanding cyclical concepts of time, Leah unpacks how systemic oppression operates and offers pathways to get free through multi-directional repair.

Leah Manaema Avene is a mother, musician, broadcaster, facilitator and educator of Irish and Tuvaluan ancestry whose work focuses on personal, relational, collective and systemic repair, healing and transformation. Leah’s work aims to scrutinise and dismantle colonial systems whilst celebrating the inter-generational resilience, resistance and strength of marginalised communities.
