People of Papatoetoe

A storytelling series by Taro Patch Creative. Papatoetoe isn’t just a place. The way it is, comes from its people.The ones who graft and grind, who lift others up, who bring mana and memory to every corner. This series is for them.

For the ones holding it down behind the scenes and the ones leading from the front. Each story is a snapshot of someone who makes Papatoetoe more than a postcode. We’re dropping a new profile every week over the next few months.

Thanks to Ōtara-Papatoetoe Board for their support that helps us tell these stories.
