A great way to understand and learn about the connections across our cultures is, to begin with, the common ground –being aware of similarities.
Our Connectedness (Season 2) is a 10-part podcast series where Dr Hafsa Ahmed continues her journey of exploration between Asian and Māori cultures through conversations with various women.
The series is broadcast Tuesdays weekly at 10:30 am.
Our Connectedness was made possible with the efforts of the Lady Khadija Trust and was funded by the Ministry for Ethnic Communities.
