- At the age of six, Sala Tiatia experienced domestic violence for the first time. It was the verbal abuse however, that bought the most darkness to Sala’s internal world-until one particular English class, with one particular English teacher, turned Sala’s dark world around. In this compelling and emotional talk, Sala shares the words that bought light to his world and how he speaks light into the world of some of New Zealand’s most vulnerable young people. Sala Tiatia is a local youth educator who has been involved in youth work for the last 30 years; his roles have varied from church ministry, community work and running youth work workshops about youth work for youth workers, right through to running leadership programmes in mainstream schools and alternative education.
He is still working with youth and their whānau today, and is a huge advocate for everyone, especially men, to seek help in counselling, have a greater sense of self care and be intentional with their holistic health. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

i went to this talk. it was my first time i’d ever been to a ted event. and let me tell you, everyone was tearing up.
I’m surprised this doesn’t have more views. The entire message of this video is so true it’s kinda of mind blowing, how so many ppl overlook the power of your words.
This brings tears to my eyes, we have a long way to go with our trauma upbringing, it's so amazing that the new generation is changing this around for the next generation. Faafetai tele lava USO, amazing work you do God bless 🙏👍
It’s sad that this is the norm in Pacific Islander households, but it’s courageous men like Sala that spark change and bring light to these truths. I’ve had similar experiences in my upbringing but was too afraid to speak up about it. Thank you for sharing your story uso … And word became flesh ❤️
Powerful Talk Sala. This will be a blessing to many. Ofa atu
Sala, you are amazing You are really good! 🥺🧡 Love from St. Paul, Minnesota.
Well spoken Sala, words bestowed upon us by our parents become our future programming. Sometimes we must unlearn what has been spoken over us and become what it is we speak over ourselves.
Kia kaha te mahi ehoa! You're doing an awesome job Sala. God bless.
