Juanita Hepi

Juanita Hepi (Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngātiwai, Ngāpuhi) walks around in a perpetual state of confusion telling yarns to find peace. She has a masters, a graduate diploma and a bachelor of arts. When not being a hearty Ōtautahi arts nerd, hautūtū and māmā, she reads, writes, plays capitals of the world, reflects on determinism and rote learns Māori and botanical names for NZ native plants.
