Ni sa Bula Vinaka. Happy Fijian Language Week!!!  ðŸ‡«ðŸ‡¯  

This week on the #ReadswithRosaPodcast I sit down for a korero with best selling New Zealand author Vanda Symon who is of Fijian and European descent. She is a mother, crime writer, presenter, radio host, fencer, and research fellow at the Va’a o Tautai Pacific Centre at the University of Otago.  We talk about everything from writing, being a broadcaster, books, Copyright NZ, advocacy and having a seat at the decision-making table, academia, Fijian Language Week + the importance of reconnecting with her culture and language, AND crime scene forensics 😅.
