Hosted by the Kaiwhakahaere of Real Talk NZ, Tania Carr.
Tania is a māmā-mum of three, kuia-grandma, tuakana-sister, aunty and a strong leader who is the driving force behind our Real Talk kaupapa.
Heavily experienced in the school of life and hard knocks, Tania has come from not so humble beginnings to create a movement that inspires and empowers people all over Aotearoa to speak their truth. In her words ‘It is important to me to utilise this platform as it is intended – to encourage people to speak their truth, to encourage, to motivate, to inspire and to empower all those we connect with. If our kōrero-talk can change or save one life, then it’s all worth it.’
What to expect in each episode REAL, open and honest conversations with people who have seen it all. 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
*Discrimination – racial, gender, sexual orientation
*Relationship breakdowns
*Career & business aspirations
Real Talk NZ - We are helping to break generational cycles. We are all survivors of traumatic experiences, so we are passionate about using our platform to change the narrative, especially for our rangatahi-youth. We are helping to shine light on traumatic experiences and normalise discussing these once ‘taboo’ topics. Through this, we show others who might be going through a similar path right now that they are not alone. Because when we speak, we heal, when we speak, we free ourselves, when we speak, we help others heal. We encourage everyone to speak their truth because people don't understand what you've been through unless you are real, raw and honest about your experiences.
Our Real Talk kauapapa-events happen regularly throughout Aotearoa and all are welcome. For more info on how to get to an event visit https://realtalknz.co.nz/

Pūrākau & Poetry - Tarah Ah Kiau

This lady is very special to me, ka nui te aroha ki a koe e hoa. We connected through a local Mums & Bubs fitness class with NBR, and she was there for me through one of the most challenging times of my life. I think it’s quite fitting that I was able to create and hold space for her to express herself.
Tarah is a passionate writer and creatively pieces together a powerful kōrero that she shares with us, you will hear her powerful kōrero by listening to the way she weaves her beautifully crafted words.
It is with the greatest pleasure that I introduce Tarah Ah Kiau to tell her story. You can find Tarah on Instagram @tarahahkiau
