Bianca Johanson: Youth Homelessness - Colonisation & Te Tiriti

When Lambs Are Silent

In this episode we speak with Bianca Johanson, Lifewise Youth and Strategy and co-ordinator of Manaaki Rangatahi a collective working to end homelessness in Aotearoa. We discuss how colonisation has contributed to the issue of youth homelessness and the value of collective impact in working towards social change. We also talk about what it means to be a good treaty partner, and how vital it is for both tangata whenua and tangata tiriti to heal and decolonize.
