    I am one of the cousins he came to when he moved to Hamilton. Mum only ever told us that Waka chose to stay in Wairoa and never had a chance to ask him what happened. Wow cuz, I never knew what you were going through.
    His story of resilience, loss, strength, defeat and eventual redemption is astonishing. It’s amazing to see this, thank you for recording his story and sharing this to the world.
    Love you cousin and continue on your journey!

    Well said my brother.
    TFS podcast is so fresh. I've spent over 11 years in jail myself & won & lost many fights.
    It's a wake up call hearing words from a brother like myself.
    His words really relate to me.

      He's not smarter than I think. I think he's extremely smart. Could've been a head boy for sure and his aunty knew it and nurtured his potential and I can imagine her disappointment 😢 😔She did so well for Waka, no matter what. She must be so happy to know where he is at in life now 🙏 😊

    Psalms 1:1-3
    [1]Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
    [2]But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.
    [3]He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

    This is Wairoa I was born here. When I was young I couldn't wait to spread my wings and when my kids grew up I came home and enjoyed our mum before she passed. Growing up in the 70s in my hometown I was lucky no matter who was around our uncles looked after us. We were safe and loved. Playing until dark, going over the river to our aunties, down the river 247 no drama. Now in the year 2024 our place is still here. Astetics mean nothing. Our parents and grandparents instilled in us a love that tethered us to this beautiful place. Marae, mahi and community.

    with gangs...God bless you and your whanau.
