About this episode

Dave Letele interviews Irie Love about her journey through trauma, identity, and empowerment in the music industry.

This week, Dave sits down with Irie Love — global artist and storyteller — for one of the most powerful and wide-ranging kōrero on Unfiltered. From growing up in Hawai‘i, to navigating the highs and lows of the music industry — Irie opens up about trauma, identity, and finding her way back to herself. She speaks on surviving some of her darkest moments, including battles with mental health, and how she transformed that pain into purpose — using her voice to empower women, reconnect with culture, and lead a movement of healing and self-worth. This is a deeply honest conversation about resilience, reclaiming who you are, and choosing peace in a chaotic world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
