In the city I was brought up in , here in the Waikato , Kirikiriroa (Hamilton).  I grew up in a heavely occupied gang neighbour hood in regards to the eyes of colonizers.  Through my eyes it was home and whanau familys , but sometimes the neighbourhood would raise up hell and go to work on different gang affiliates.

Gangs are apart of this society thanks to goverment initiatives that fail my people.  Taking young kids from there homes and putting them in homes that have a high probability of sexual abuse and abuse in general.

Hence the gang culture was born.  

I Korero with Bonnie Maihi, Rapper, MC , HipHop culture representitive and also a University scholar who is about to embark on her Doctorite.

Bonnie was brought up in a gang whanau and has been navigating this space since she was born.  She is a leader in many ways and is also a serviver or cancer. 

Listen in as she speaks on life as she knows it .

It is 2025 and so much has happpened since I last did my Pod Cast.
Our Maori King Tuheitia passed away which broke many of our hearts.  We crowned a New Maori Queen, Tuheitia's daughter Ngawai.  70 thousand people marched on parliment to protest against the goverments racist bill they try to pass.  I was there with my wife and heaps of our friends, Maori and Tauiwi (Foreigners) together.  My mum passed away as well as our cat got run over.  I got disqualified from driving for 4 speeding tickets in the last 2 years and that was affective from Xmas day (Merry Xmas to Meee)
But hey , any way.
This weekend I met up with David Obeda, the creator of the famous Pod Cast TFS.  My self and good friend Vin (Slip Of the Tongue "Villians,VMT") went for a stroll through our hood Enderly.  We touched on the history of our neighbourhood and also spoke about some of the amazing people who do the mahi (work) for our community.  
The next day I had the honour of sitting down and having David conversate on my Pod Cast about his lifes journey , his beliefs and values and how he come about this mahi he does.  Here is David Obeda story in his own words.

So its been a while since ive been able to put my self back together after taking a spiritual hit from some unforeseen events that took place.
This week I get to talk about what great things I am pursuing in life.  We touch on how woke you have to be to have an opinion on social media.
The controversy of woman's boxing in the olympics with Iman who has a rear disease that has her in a contraversal predicament and the sensitive nature of people who consider them selves experts on research.  
Active Division I call it, tune in , have a laugh or a cry but remember you are alive bro.
