ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In Part 2, we dive deeper into the heart of Taripo Collective with Mena Taripo—exploring the inspiration, purpose, and passion behind the work of preserving of her mother tongues and cultural heritage. Mena shares the journey of building a creative collective centred on language, storytelling, and connection, and why keeping our languages alive is essential to protecting identity, and honouring the generations who came before us. We explore the power of cultural resources, the importance of passing knowledge to future generations, and the vision Mena holds for creating spaces where Pacific communities can celebrate, access, learn, and thrive.
