Taking the<br />
‘ ’<br />
T to the next level...<br />
T<br />
his resource is brought to you by Te Punawai<br />
service in association of ME Family Services<br />
which provides gender and sexuality diversity<br />
support for youth 25 years and under and their<br />
families. We work primarily in Mangere/Otahuhu<br />
with extension support to the South Auckland<br />
area.<br />
Contributors featured in this resource are<br />
inspiring young people with stories that break the<br />
stereotypes placed on their communities. These<br />
are real stories of role models who have shown<br />
leadership in their own lives. It is our hope that<br />
the stories featured in the <strong>Inspire</strong> resource provide<br />
encouragement for young people facing the<br />
challenges of being themselves.<br />
As much as possible, I wanted the stories that we<br />
share in this resource to have as little editing as<br />
possible. This is because I wanted to pay respect<br />
to the storytellers. I believe that everyone has<br />
their own story and that story belongs to them.<br />
Their stories certainly inspired us and we hope<br />
that it is the same for you. “Dreams can become<br />
a reality regardless of what gender or sexual<br />
orientation you are”. You can be who you want to<br />
be and these girls are a true testament of that.
