On this episode of What’s In Your Kete, we sit down with Michael Tuala — a youth worker and mental health advocate of Samoan descent, from West Auckland / Tāmaki Makaurau 🇼🇸🇳🇿.

This talanoa shares Michael's path of service to our young people — grounded in alofa (love) ❤️ , cultural identity, tautua (service) and the strength of aiga (family). He speaks on his journey travelling across the vast Pacific 🌊🚢 in early 2020, and how he recently ended up on a Europe adventure 🇪🇺 ✈️with his siblings.
