Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa, nau mai hoki mai ki te kaupapa kōrero Real Talk.
I’m Tania Carr, and today in this episode, you are going to hear the thought provoking kōrero from Hohepa Thompson aka (Hori).
Hori took the stage at Real Talk Mō Ngā Rangatahi Taitoko – Levin, with the title of his presentation being The Art Of Taking the Mimi!
He shares with us his struggles in his younger days, the way he used to be like a bull to a red flag, and how nowadays, he likes to tackle scenarios from more of a comedic, piss take point of view to raise awareness and make an impact. And as we know, he definitely makes an impact.
Here is Hori’s story...
Hohepa Thompson has been dubbed “The man who took on a racial slur and made it his name”
“The goal for the HORI brand is to open up conversations about difficult cultural and social issues which people feel is too taboo to talk about.
Like our nations Haka, HORI dares to be different and to challenge people’s views. (Even when it may not seem so politically correct to do so).”
