on honouring the spaces between us
With the NZ Police Jeremy Faumuinā says, “I get paid to care” for youth and community. Working with people who “haven’t had encouragement”, he explores what success looks like for them. And that key concern: what will our young people inherit? His conviction is with the power of conversation (talanoa), of alofa (love and compassion), and with the Pasifika concept of the Vā - on common ground and the “beetweenness” of spaces. His platform, “Vā Concepts,” draws on his own Samoan heritage.
