Disruptive Voices Of The Pacific

Like many other young girls in Fiji, Mere was sexually abused at the age of 11. And like many other women in Fiji she is breaking her silence & sharing her story.

In this episode, Letitia and Ps. Apenisa explore the warning signs of spiritual abuse within the church, unpack common red flags to watch for, and discuss healthy, practical ways to respond.

In this episode, I sit down with Mercedes Swann, founder of Mama Talanoa — a movement created to break the silence around maternal mental health in the Pacific.

Mercedes shares how the community has grown, along with insights from a survey of more than 400 women, and her vision for the online group in 2026.

Kanesi Kaufusi runs her own podcast Pacific Empowerment Podcast.  She is on a crusade to ban a cultural tradition in her nation that exploits women & destroys marriages.  What gives her courage to speak up and be a disruptive voice? Listen to my interview and be inspired by Akanesi.  To join her campaign go to www.pasifikaeempowerment.org

Kara shares her story and the value of life.
