Tinā by Grace Taylor

Check out this beautiful piece by South-Auckland spoken word artist Grace Taylor!

Made up of 3 different poems (Storm of a Woman, Tinā 1 and Tinā 2) from her first book of written poetry Afakasi Speaks, it speaks of the strength and poise of what a tama'ita'i Samoa means to her - and her mother.

Of Samoan, English and Japanese ancestry, Grace is also the co-Founder of Rising Voices Youth Poetry Movement and South Auckland Poets Collective - and is also creating her first one-woman show called My Own Darling!
