My position is NZAF Community Engagement Co-ordinator Māori. My role is to raise awareness, understanding and education about HIV, and to improve the health impacts of sexuality-based prejudice by creating supportive environments for takatāpui within our whānau, hapū and iwi.
My journey started at the age of 16 when I attended my first Hui Takatāpui. This event empowered me with knowledge, support and guidance from a community I now call my whānau. I believe I remain HIV negative because of my first contact with Hui Takatāpui and I am committed to ensure we continue to offer a much-needed service.
