Nanaimo hip hop artist SirReal will rap about loss this Sunday September 11th as he pays tribute to his brother, Nick
The subject of suicide is no longer something that people keep hidden in the dark, ashamed to talk about. There are many conversations going on and people are learning to reach out to others and to look for help themselves. Suicide is now a topic that people want to know more about, from learning how to recognize the signs of suicidal behaviour in others to learning about how to help.
Nanaimo resident Matt Dunae will rap about loss this Sunday September 11th as he pays tribute to his brother, Nick, who died by suicide in 2007. Matt, a musician who performs under the name SirReal, will join the annual Soles Remembering Souls event at Nanaimo’s Port Theatre. Matt exemplifies strength and resilience with his devotion to family and community in both his actions and his lyrics.
We speak with Matt Dunae and with Heather Owen, from the Central Vancouver Island Crisis Society.
