Overcoming Adversity: Emily Fern

EMILY FERN has been nominated for the Overcoming Adversity award, sponsored by Close Finance, for ‘being an inspiration’.

Her nominator, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that her song, entitled Restart, provided comfort and strength to survivors of sexual assault.

‘She has helped a lot of people with her personal lyrics and beautiful voice,’ they said.

‘Through her singing and song-writing, she has touched many listeners and shown them that they are not alone.

‘So many people are scared to discuss the topic of sexual assault in the media, especially in Guernsey.

‘To hear someone being honest about their experience is extremely refreshing and important.

‘She sings “I wish that I could press restart” in her latest song, portraying a feeling that many survivors can resonate with.

‘I am excited to see what Emily will continue to do in her music career and I hope she knows that she is a talented singer and song-writer.’
