This week on the #ReadswithRosaPodcast I sit down for a talanoa with Emeli Sione. She is a mother, educator, writer, consultant and editor for Lift Education Publishers, and author of the recently released book - ᴀ ɴᴇᴡ ᴅᴀᴡɴ | ‘Ko e Pongipongi Fo’ou, a story about Emeli’s childhood dawn raid experience.  She shares her journey of healing, working with the Mila’s Books team, the importance of developing learning resources that inform and educate not just our people but non-pasefika folx, and we talk about social justice.
