💌 Dear Me: The letters we wish we could send
What wisdom do we wish we’d had years ago, and what do we want to remember in the future? Listen to six storytellers across generations dig deep as they share self-compassion and encouragement to the women they were, and the women they will become.
If you’ve ever thought, I wish I knew then what I know now, this show will hit you in the heart.
You’ll laugh, cry and walk away with reminders you didn’t know you needed.
💫 Our Performer Line-up:
Team 20s: Aletana Ajulo is a Nigerian Australian entrepreneur and practitioner in human rights. She’s the founder of Blk Curate Collective, a directory and community platform for Black owned businesses. She is a passionate advocate for youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, anti-racism and building cultural literacy.
Team 30s: Brandy Tsang is a Director and Managing Legal Counsel at a global consulting firm. A Hong Kong–born, Sydney-raised lawyer, she leads Pride initiatives across Australia and New Zealand and champions LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the workplace. She has spoken at the University of New South Wales on ethics and mental health in the legal profession, and recently returned to the world of stand-up comedy, selling out her first two shows at the Factory Theatre this year.
Team 40s: Polly Staniford is an award-winning film and television producer and storyteller, and an intuitive guide and healer. After more than 20 years in the screen industry, she now also facilitates retreats, workshops and mentorship, helping people reconnect with their intuition and rewrite the stories shaping their lives through storytelling, tarot and energy work.
Team 50s: Heather Cook is a chef and proud mom of three sons who has made Australia her home, despite her American roots. With years of experience running her own restaurant and catering business, Heather has cooked for many high-profile clients, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Her love of food, fun and bringing people together through unforgettable meals is at the heart of everything she does.
Team 60s:Jane Turner has spent more than a decade as the "book whisperer" for Australia’s entrepreneurs, industry leaders and high-achievers. A premier writing coach, ghostwriter and author of six books, Jane has dedicated her professional life to helping people capture and share their stories. Even with a recent diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, Jane continues to help her clients become published authors and recently released her latest title, Things to Worry About.
Team 70s+: Barbara Jones is an 81-year-old widow who lost her husband at 37, raised her family alone, and built one of the most remarkable second acts you'll ever hear about. A Masters Swimming champion who competed at state, national and World Championship level, her love of competition unlocked a decades-long passion for solo travel across the globe. She has spent her life quietly showing up for others without being asked, a habit that earned her the 2024 NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year Award. She says helping was always reward enough.
