Kia ora koutou katoa!

Welcome back to The Conversation Collective... This week we delve into the topic of ROLE MODELS!

Join Gina, the amazing young woman hosting this episode, as she speaks with her insightful guest Ruby Solly, a Wellington based Kāi Tahu writer, musician, academic, and music therapist. Gina and Ruby kōrero about the importance of community for creativity and activism, reflect upon their shared experiences of not seeing oneself represented in the mainstream culture whilst growing up, and share what they have learnt from their role models and in turn from becoming mentors themselves...

Follow Ruby Solly for updates on all her creative projects on her Facebook page: Ruby Solly Music.
