Zenica Mann (Ngāti Kahu) is an artist, a parent, a sometimes-poet and a proud advocate for rainbow/takatāpui people here in Whanganui – yet as tangata whenua, Zenica has spent the past couple of years navigating the intersections of marginalised communities and systemic racism in Aotearoa.  Also studying toward a Bachelor of Counselling, Zen continues to challenge and work toward the decolonisation of these spaces she moves through.
