Why I'm standing
I have served the Albert-Eden-Puketāpapa community since I came to Auckland as a refugee nine years ago – my family lost everything, and this community helped us build a life here. I want to serve as councilor to give back to the city that has given my family so much. I want to live in a prosperous, diverse, and safe city.
About me
My experience working with local boards advocating for vulnerable and young Aucklanders will enable me to be effective at the council table, bringing about fresh, positive change for our community. I lead the registered charity Aotearoa Africa Foundation, working with youth, migrant and refugee communities to enable them to be successful. I will champion housing accessibility, improved transport options, council efficiency, and climate action.
My priorities
- Acting local, but thinking global on climate action.
- Making Auckland Council decision making accessible for all communities.
- Prioritising accessible public and active transport options for all communities and town centers.
