||  Difference is the blessing.  ||

This week on Episode 110 of the #ReadswithRosaPodcast, I sit down with Artist, Paralympian, Mentor and a hardcore fan of the NZ Warriors, Benza Tuimaseve aka The Rugcutter. 

We chat about a lot of things, from music to writing, healthy living and the journey to Tokyo Olympics 2020, the stigma of living with a disability and how we can all be better advocates, the Navigators Programme through Te Karanga Trust, identity and language, and of course, plenty of yarns about who’s team is higher on the NRL Ladder.
