Mindy ChenWishart University of Otago Sweeter because I am getting my honorary doctor of laws from Otago University with my brilliant sister Mindy! Law is a hard and long road of striving for perfection and failing so this means a lot that you might have made a difference

NZ Asian and Superdiverse Women leaders met last night & agreed 2 publicly share their experiences of discrimination today. They were not surprised at the bloodshed. The challenge is what we do in our everyday relationships. After the burials. To make sure there will be no more.

We r not immune from racist hate attacks & we cant be complacent @ NZs high ranking on the global peace index. Some nzers of different ethnicities experience racism in this country every day. It is not alright. NZs increasing Superdiversity means more conscious actions r needed

That should be Jodie King chief People officer from Air New Zealand! twitter.com/maichennz/stat…
