In her words ‘It is important to me to utilise this platform as it is intended – to encourage people to speak their truth, to encourage, to motivate, to inspire and to empower all those we connect with. If our kōrero-talk can change or save one life, then it’s all worth it.’ <br />What to expect in each episode REAL, open and honest conversations with people who have seen it all. The subjects covered in our kōrero start with but are not limited to the subjects listed below: <br />*Suicide and triggers and coping mechanisms<br />*Mental Health awareness <br />*Sexual & physical abuse <br />*Gangs & domestic violence <br />*Drug and alcohol addiction <br />*Teen pregnancy & pregnancy loss<br />*Death & grief <br />*Discrimination – racial, gender, sexual orientation       <br />*Relationship breakdowns <br />*Career & business aspirations <br />Real Talk NZ - We are helping to break generational cycles. We are all survivors of traumatic experiences, so we are passionate about using our platform to change the narrative, especially for our rangatahi-youth. We are helping to shine light on traumatic experiences and normalise discussing these once ‘taboo’ topics. Through this, we show others who might be going through a similar path right now that they are not alone. Because when we speak, we heal, when we speak, we free ourselves, when we speak, we help others heal.  We encourage everyone to speak their truth because people don't understand what you've been through unless you are real, raw and honest about your experiences.  <br />Our Real Talk kauapapa-events happen regularly throughout Aotearoa and all are welcome.
