Joshua Peauafi

Mālō e lelei​, kia ora and hello, my name is Joshua Peauafi. I am of Tongan and New Zealand heritage. I am proud to be the son of Moses and Jillian Peauafi, little brother to Nick, Melissa, Moses Jnr and Selina. I am blessed and honoured to be married to Nicky Peauafi, my wonderful and loving wife.

I have a great passion for Pasifika people and culture, with a specific focus for Pasifika and Māori youth in Aotearoa New Zealand. I look at what identity means and how it effects the next generation within our communities. I am passionate about constantly learning and pushing to further my own education, but also role model that learning is a never-ending process and is not something that conforms to a classroom setting.

I am an avid believer that youth need people outside of their family circle that they can look up to and connect with. I am able to build relationships and gain a real reciprocal understandings with various diverse communities.
