Kia Ora and welcome to this episode with Brother Royce Baucke. Bro. B, as I call him, has lived a full, wonderful life. He’s helped and inspired so many people because he’s full of love, learning and education. He was mistreated as a high school student, and so when he became a high school art teacher he was determined to be inclusive and loving. And that’s exactly what he became. He was raised by a single mother. He never knew his father. He was different from the very beginning. Some mocked him, but he ended up finding his place at art college as well as his people. He fell in love and has been with her ever since. He tells us of the journey he’s taken and the ups and downs of life. He was recently diagnosed with incurable cancer and so is living out his days in peace with his family and art. It’s my privilege to introduce you to Brother Royce Baucke’s story. Enjoy. Ka kite ano.
