In this episode of Mana Mind StrongHer, I sit down with Thelma, known professionally as MC Trey.
Born in Lami, Fiji and of Samoan heritage, MC Trey is a singer, rapper, creative producer and community leader who has spent more than two decades shaping Australian hip hop, youth arts and Pacific storytelling.
We talk about her early beginnings writing lyrics as a child, growing up surrounded by rap, reggae, gospel and island music, and how storytelling became the foundation of her work.
MC Trey shares what creative wellbeing really looks like beyond the words, how she intentionally holds culture, care and safety in her work with young people, and why creating space for Pacific stories has always been at the core of what she does.
Through her platform Tapastry, she continues to build spaces for community, creativity and connection, using music as a tool for expression, healing and impact.
This conversation is about purpose, identity and the power of storytelling.
