Real Talk Kōrero

• We take our audience on a journey, a journey of laughter, a journey of tears, and a journey with absolute passion and purpose.
• We create a safe space to speak about what we have experienced in our lives, and that we don’t have to be whakamā, we don’t have to live in silence, we don’t have to hide our secrets anymore.
• Because when we speak – we heal, when we speak we free ourselves, and when we speak – we provide inspiration and hope for others.

We provide the following at each event:

• Inspiring kaikōrero
• Free kai and refreshments
• Opportunity to win some incredible prizes on the day
• FREE Real Talk pukapuka for every rangatahi in the audience

The subjects covered in our kōrero start with but are not limited to the subjects listed below:

• Suicide and triggers and coping mechanisms
• Mental Health awareness
• Sexual & physical abuse
• Gangs & domestic violence
• Drug and alcohol addiction
• Teen pregnancy & pregnancy loss
• Death & grief
