For Season 2 we thought it would be great to switch things up a bit and that’s just what we are doing. Every fortnight we will have conversations with people in our community who are either doing something amazing for our community or discuss something of importance to our community with them. These conversations will differ slightly from our usual because they will be less political and more about discovery and growth. 

This week we talk blogging with two amazing Bloggers Shania and Wengo, don't worry we will put their Blog links and socials at the bottom.
