Akanuanua Podcast
Akanuanua is a series exploring the lived realities of our MVPFAFF Queer Pasifika community. We take an up-close and personal look into the lives of 5 extraordinary Queer Pasifika people. Experiencing the ofa (love) they create, the mafana (warmth) they exude, the malie (humor) they share, and the faka'apa'apa they deserve. All of these elements are woven together to create moving 21st-century stories jumping out to be told, Akanuanua does just that! This year commemorates 50 years of Pride in Tāmaki Makaurau. 50 years on from the start of the Gay Liberation Movement in 1972. Akanuanua is about celebrating how far we have come as a community and where our young people wish to take us.

Katrina Malisha Aho also known as Hurricane Katrina by her fellow Divas, is a young, brown, trans registered nurse strutting the wards of Auckland City Hospital. Before this, she attended De La Salle College and for all of her years there was part of the school’s legendary fa’afafine collective ‘The Divas’. As confident as a Tongan aunty dancing along to a tau’olunga, Kat’s trans identity forms her success.
