||  My Gender Doesn't Define Me. ||  

Talofa lava folx! The #ReadswithRosaPodcast is back for 2023!!   

I had the chance to sit down and talanoa with actress, theatre star and creative Petmal Petelo and I tell you, it was a blast and a great way to kick off this year's season of the podcast. There were a lot of laughs, stories, and plenty of gems 💎!  In her words, she was ‘born to be a performer’, and as a fan of her work I would have to agree and add, she is hardworking, determined, fabulous and unapologetic.  You can see Petmal in ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴀᴠᴀɢᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏɴɪᴢᴇʀ ꜱʜᴏᴡ at the #AucklandArtsFestival from March 9 - 26.
