About The Organizer

Jessica Nabb

Jessica Nabb is a singer, community music facilitator and event organiser based in the Dandenong Ranges. She leads Sweet Sassafras Community Choir and various pop up projects throughout the year, and has a passion for using community singing and performance to create social change.

This is her third event in the past year promoting awareness of gender based violence, and raising funds for charities and organisations working with women and girls who have experienced family or gender based violence.

She hopes that these events will help to open a dialogue about gender based violence and how we, as a community and as individuals, can make it stop.
