Jono Selu (they/he)

Director

Mālō lava le soifua! I am of Samoan, Scottish and English heritage, born and raised on the whenua of Te Kawerau ā Maki in Tāmaki Makaurau. I am a queer social activist with a particular interest in intersectionality and identity formation.

At my core, this work is a spiritual calling. Iʻm a social worker by trade, and my background is in health promotion and education, youth and community development, sexual health, sexual violence prevention, rainbow communities, mental health, and decolonisation. In truth, I just like doing cool shit and wanna make cool spaces and places in the world!
