From pop stars to politicians, artists and activists, every week Bimini will be unearthing the moments that have shaped their guests’ identities, whilst exploring how the world today is impacting the people we are becoming. New episodes every Tuesday.

Since bursting onto the scene, GIRLI (the stage name for pop star Amelia Toomey) has used her platform to encourage change.

Known for her unapologetically queer, feminist anthems, GIRLI has carved out a space in music that is bold, confrontational and completely authentic. From tackling toxic masculinity to celebrating queer joy – and even throwing tampons into the crowd at gigs to challenge the societal taboo around menstruation – her music has become a rallying cry for a generation refusing to fit into neat boxes.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and GIRLI dive into the formative moments that have shared GIRLI into who she is today – from the moment she realised that both queerness and a musical career were possible – to embracing her power to create change.

They discuss creating positive queer representation, the erasure of lesbians in women’s history, the impact of the AIDS epidemic and the colonisation of sexuality across culture. Plus, GIRLI reveals where she truly finds her power...
