Shari Nevalagi created the organisation Rise Up for Homelessness. She's a solo mother of two children, both with autism, and has autism herself. She spends time volunteering with homeless Whānau and neurodiverse Whānau in Tāmaki Makaurau, and is currently working in Manurewa helping to provide rough sleepers with food and support.
Lillian Hanly spoke with Shari following the news that Mayor Phil Goff has announced a 'homelessness count', and talked with her about her concerns.
Tina Ngata is of Ngati Porou descent, she is a mother, a writer and an advocate for Māori rights. She has been a part of the Kia Mau movement that is working to recognise the injustice of the Doctrine of Discovery and speak against state sponsored memorialisation of James Cook. She has also been a steadfast voice against the commercialisation of whenua and caring for Papatūānuku. Recently Lillian came across a statement by Tina regarding the use of water and how imperialism relates to water and climate change. Lillian wanted to speak to her about this but as it is the 5th of February, started by asking how she is feeling in the lead up to Waitangi Day.
