HERstory Celebrates Its Fifth Sold-Out Show and Ignites a Powerful Nelson Movement

 

HERstory, the Nelson-born storytelling experience I created, has just celebrated its fifth and most powerful show yet with a completely sold-out audience at The Suter Theatre. People from across the region gathered for an unforgettable evening of courage, connection and celebration, with some guests even flying in from Christchurch to be part of the magic. The night was brought to life by an exceptional lineup of local speakers and performers.

​

The stage lit up with the gifts of Jacquie Boer, Rachel Greig, Renata Harper and Becky Siame, each offering deeply moving and inspiring stories in their own unique style. Their honesty, humour and artistry held the room in a beautiful blend of emotion, depth and energy.

​

This year’s HERstory wasn’t just storytelling. It evolved into a full entertainment experience, featuring beautiful backing musicians, stunning visual imagery, atmospheric lighting, and even a touch of dancing. The theatre felt alive with connection, laughter and the unmistakable sense of a community rising together.

 

We also held a live auction hosted by local real estate agent Kate Bradley, which brought another layer of excitement to the night. All prizes were generously donated by local businesses, helping us raise even more support for our cause. In total, HERstory raised thousands of dollars for Home Share For Her, with the final amount to be announced soon.

​

What began in Nelson as a simple idea has now grown into a genuine movement.

The energy in the room was extraordinary. People arrived open, ready to connect, ready to feel, and ready to support one another. HERstory now has its own heartbeat.

​

And the mission keeps growing. I will continue to amplify voices, interview women across the Nelson region, and share stories from HERA. Our next major HERstory show is set for 2026 and promises even more transformational magic.
