You were born and raised a shy Māori/Cook Island girl from a small town, Tokoroa. That was your heart, your purpose, your home, everything you'd ever known for 13 years. A big family with so many dynamics, statistics, characteristics, and struggling with a stereotype that was projected onto people like you.
For me it all started in 2014 where my journey of experiencing new things and broadening my horizons began. I was a lost little boy with very little role models and no sense of purpose or reason to grow. But I knew my mum cared for the elderly so I wanted to help people too and give back. I just wasn’t sure how.
Personally, my experiences with relationships had a massive impact on my self-esteem & confidence such as; losing my mum to suicide, my dad moving to Australia, broken trust in my friendships, missed opportunities because I was told I wasn’t good enough, I was misunderstood and felt unwanted. The feeling of abandonment & rejection made me independent & an “I’ll just do me” attitude. But this was not my calling.
We’re starting up our community youth nights again on Tuesday nights. Every Tuesday night we will run a programme at the Clendon Recreation Centre Stadium between 6:30pm-8:30pm. There will be games, food, activities and all round fun. The programme is free for ages 11-17. We have a launch concert on Tuesday 16th May at 6:30pm. We hope to see you there!
