As a passionate advocate for social justice it is a massive privilege to have this role in Te Tai Tokerau. Seven years ago, I made the decision to spend the rest of my life working with men – to assist ourselves in taking positive steps together towards happier healthy lives – better men have better relationships, and for me whanau always come first.
