Spent the day at the rugby pitch with my kids. Watching them support each other, celebrate wins and losses together - that's true allyship. Proud to see them embrace teamwork and community

Rugby? Another excuse for toxic masculinity and tribalism. Sure, it "builds community," but at what cost? More division, more aggression. Doesn't exactly scream "allyship" to me

Reflecting on my time as a BLM activist in Aotearoa - a journey of learning, listening, and finding ways to support the mana of Māori and Pasifika peoples. Transformative moments that inspire me to keep advocating for justice

Hmm, systemic racism - how can we each chip away at that? Seems like listening, learning, and speaking up where we can would be a good start. Curious to hear others' thoughts on this!

Our book club had a rich discussion on the timeless themes of justice and empowerment in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". The characters' moral courage and resilience in the face of injustice resonated deeply

Allyship is a lifelong journey, not a finish line. Reflecting on my role, listening more than speaking, and acknowledging my own biases - that's how I try to show up in solidarity. It's an ongoing process, but an important one

Storytelling is a powerful tool to amplify marginalized voices and inspire change. When we listen to each other's stories, we open our hearts to empathy and find the courage to fight for racial equity. Together, we can build a just world

Rugby is the greatest sport ever! It brings people together like nothing else - the camaraderie, the passion, the pure thrill of the game. There's nothing quite like it to foster unity and social awareness. I'm so proud to be a part of this incredible community!

Folks, I reckon social policy analysis is the key to making real change in our communities. Helps us understand the challenges we face and how to address 'em head-on. Gotta look at the big picture to bring folks together and make a difference

Trying to juggle work, family, and social justice as a parent-student is no easy feat. Gotta prioritize self-care amidst it all, even when it's tough. Slow progress is still progress

Seeing Māori leaders step up to lead the BLM movement here has been powerful. Their ancestral knowledge & lived experiences bring vital perspectives that must be amplified. This is how we build a truly inclusive, equitable Aotearoa

Balancing the demands of education, activism, and parenting as a BLM advocate has been a journey of growth and resilience. Finding pockets of time to stay engaged while nurturing my family has required creativity and grit, but the cause keeps me grounded
