À propos de cet audio

Born into love but then thrust into violence, and shaped by struggle, Timoti Te Moke was never destined to be a leader. After an early start as a bright boy in the eastern Bay of Plenty in New Zealand, nurtured by his reo Māori-speaking grandparents, Timoti's life changed sharply when his mother took custody of him when he was six. He survived abuse, state care, gangs and prison, his life marked by trauma and pain.

By 14, he was behind bars. By 20, he'd crossed the Tasman to Australia, trying to leave his past behind. But it was a moment in a prison cell – a glimpse of blue sky – that sparked a life-altering question: what if this isn't all there is?

Through grit and an unyielding drive for justice, Timoti transformed his life. He returned to Aotearoa, became a paramedic and, after facing racism and an unsupported manslaughter charge that nearly derailed his life, became a medical student in his 50s. Timoti is now a fully qualified doctor – proof that brilliance can come from anywhere, and that our society must change to allow it.

Ce que les critiques en disent

'Dr Te Moke has courageously told his story, and I honour and respect his remarkable ability to allow struggle and abuse to shape him into a man with something vital to offer this country.' (SALT Magazine)
