Some Of My Favourite People. Season 4, EP 2. Ada, Different Voice Initiative.
Ada is a Youtuber, social commentator and content creator based in the U.K focused on race and racism. She started the project not seeing a more diverse range of thought presented when it comes to talking about social and political issues, so a different voice was created.
We had a cool conversation about Ada's views and opinions. We got into acknowledging looking at the balance between personal responsibility and social causatives of disparate outcomes, going against the grain of popular ideas, and giving people hope and a reason to be optimistic.

Some Of My Favourite People. Season 3. EP 16. Aaron Tau.
Aaron Tau is a pro-MMA fighter, with a background in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing and Kickboxing. He fights out of UFC star Dan Hooker's Combat Academy, in Auckland New Zealand. We had a really deep conversation about Aaron's life. Aaron was very open and intimate about the experiences that shaped him growing up, and how he became who he is today. Aaron grew up with a life rich in Maoritanga (traditional culture and way of life) in a rural community.He experienced extreme hardship and adversity within his family. However, he's not let the hand he was dealt, he says, define who he is, and he speaks about his philosophies of forgiveness, compassionate and unconditional love that underpin his way of life. This was one of the best conversations I've ever had the privilege to have, and I'm sure everyone will get a lot from it. Thank you Aaron!
