A panel talk on consent, respect, and healthy masculinity Join broadcaster and author Yumi Stynes, bestselling author Emma Grey, and local organisation Top Blokes for a thought-provoking discussion on consent, respect, healthy masculinity, and safety. Yumi Stynes, author of Welcome to Consent, is passionate about sparking open, honest conversations between adults and young people. Emma Grey’s novel Pictures of You explores coercive control in a relationship spanning high school to adulthood. Emma will be joined by her daughter Hannah Robertson, a criminology PhD candidate researching gendered violence and coercive control. Adding a local voice, a Top Blokes representative will share how their programs help boys explore respectful relationships, identity, mental health, consent, and healthy masculinity, supported by a multi-year grant. This panel brings heart, expertise, and lived experience to conversations that can change lives.
