On this week's episode, Erin Gruwell speaks with New Zealand’s Gisborne District Councillor, Meredith Akuhata-Brown, and her daughter, Casey - two proud, Maori members of our Freedom Writer Family. They discuss the history of the Maori people, the effects of New Zealand's colonization by the British, and the importance of knowing and accepting your cultural roots. This episode is an eye-opening look into the lingering effects of colonization, and how community activism and involvement can overcome that intergenerational trauma. We hope this episode will leave you feeling enlightened and empowered to make a difference. Purchase Dear Freedom Writer: bit.ly/3wpsB8N Donate to Our Student Authors: tinyurl.com/DearFWFundraiser
