Ash | Glen Innes, Auckland

“I’m just kind off the bat. Someone asks me for something, I’ll just give it to them. Just real talk. I’ve just got a good heart, a big heart. I’m willing to share. 

When someone’s been kind to me? For instance, I’ve been in and out of jail, and they still gave me my job back, because at the end of the day it’s not who I am. It’s how I produce the work and that. So, in my eyes I was looked at as a hard worker. I’m a pick and packer. I work up the road. We pack tap-wares, like what you turn on and off? Showers and that. 

It’s very important to be kind, because at this time, everyone needs everyone’s help. We need to become one, not some. I value trust, love and respect.

I was brought up in South Auckland. When I was young, I had a bad upbringing, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to do that to my generations. Just show them the good path. Oh, it’s just be crime-free, alcohol-free. Enjoy life.”
