Tanglaw Connect Ep 7 - One Brave Decision
We hear the inspiring story of Angelee Gomez, whose journey to Aotearoa New Zealand is a testament to perseverance, faith, and the courage to embrace the unknown. Before coming to New Zealand, Angelee worked in the corporate world in the Philippines. Although she enjoyed her job and cherished being close to her family, she found herself struggling financially. Working abroad was never part of her plans because the thought of leaving her loved ones behind was simply too painful. Everything changed when her uncle encouraged her to consider New Zealand - a decision that would transform the course of her life. What followed was far from easy. Angelee's migration journey was marked by uncertainty and persistence as she navigated different visa pathways - from a Visitor Visa to an Interim Visa, then Seasonal Work, followed by a Student Visa, and finally, a Work Visa. Each step came with its own challenges, sacrifices, and moments of doubt, but she refused to give up. Today, by God's grace, Angelee is building a meaningful life in New Zealand as a Support Worker, serving others with compassion while enjoying the stability she once only hoped for. Join us as Angelee shares an honest and inspiring conversation about leaving the familiar, overcoming obstacles, and discovering that even the longest journeys can lead to beautiful destinations. Her story reminds us that one courageous decision, sustained by perseverance and faith, can change the course of an entire life. Tanglaw Connect celebrates resilience, faith, and the Filipino spirit while fostering connection, belonging, and encouragement for listeners wherever they may be.

Echoes of Dissent Ep 16 - Sacred or Just Scenic
From Maunga Kea to Uluru , from Warriors Rising to a quiet “Please don’t climb". We listen to Hawane Rios protesting a planned 30 metre telescope on the mountain that is family. We see the stakes driven into the Rock to make it easier for tourists to climb. From Uluru in Australia's Red Centre to Mauna Kea in Hawaiʻi and sacred places here in Aotearoa New Zealand, we reflect on tourism, and we seek to travel with curiosity and a deep recognition of the stories carried by the land. Traversing the centuries and musical genres to dive into one song that cries out ‘This is wrong!’

What does it say for us today? At times we will be challenged, disturbed, unsettled. Please join us.
