This week on the #ReadswithRosaPodcast I sit down for a talanoa with Tongan Emcee and Youth Worker, Rizván Tu'itahi.  Known to many as #northcityrizzy, he proudly reps three things: His Tongan roots, the Baha’i faith, and the North Shore of Auckland City. In his words: ‘I’m the Ambassador of North Harbour’.

In 2017 when he appeared on David Dallas’s Red Bull 64 Bars Project, some people were asking: ‘Who is this guy?’ Yet those who knew, knew! Nowadays, you can find him sharing creative knowledge, life experiences, mentoring and empowering the rangatahi in our communities through the Navigators program with Te Karanga Trust.

His new album ‘ᴇᴠᴇʀʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴꜱ ꜰᴏʀ ᴀ ʀᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ’ drops on October 24th, so follow him for all the updates and check out his music, you won't be disappointed.
