Introducing 'Anau Mesui-Henry, a proud recipient of the 2023 Puna Pūtea Social Action Grants.

KAVA X stands as a transformative talanoa platform, deeply rooted in Moana/Pacific culture. This innovative initiative provides a space for navigating challenging discussions surrounding the struggles faced by Tāngata Moana. KAVA X offers a culturally safe environment that honours and prioritises the dignity and well-being of its participants.

For this series KAVA X focused specifically on discrimination due to mental distress. With these engagements, they fostered the exchange of personal narratives, explored potential solutions, and celebrated cultural practices integral to healing.
