I was sick for several months and unable to work much at all during that time. Being between contracts and having delays with some of my invoices being paid, means I have got some pretty big bills that I have not yet been able to pay, like power, internet/phone, and credit card (which was used to cover other bills in the interim!) & are now urgent. I'd really appreciate any support to cover these bills so I can continue with my recovery & get myself back to work smoothly. Kā mihi nui!
Kia ora! I’m a disabled & indigenous activist and storyteller based in Aotearoa NZ. I’m proudly Kāi Tahu from Awarua & Moeraki. I have Fibromyalgia, PTSD & ADHD, and am working to dismantle ableism and promote disability justice and climate justice in Aotearoa, as well as running support for others with chronic pain. Most of my activism centres on the intersection between Indigenous & Disability rights and climate change & my storywork explores concepts of story sovereignty, consent, and centering our communities in social change. If you’ve learnt something from my digital advocacy or writing, and would like to support my mahi on Indigenous & Disability rights and Climate Change, or help contribute to my health expenses I would greatly appreciate it! My activism and art is almost entirely self-funded,
