Komene’s first project is to script and produce a video series titled “Ngā Taonga a Te Ao Māori” – The Gifts of the Māori World.

“As a pakeha, I’ve always had a lot of interest in and respect for te ao Māori, but it’s always been from an outside view looking in. Having Josiah join our whānau will embed Māori values and culture into our everyday practices.
“The Not Another team is very culturally diverse with 11 languages spoken in our team of 16. We’re very proud of our diversity and it makes us stronger as a team.
“Our aim is to foster a culturally diverse and inclusive workplace, with a team that understands Māori language and culture, as well as the principles set out in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Josiah’s appointment marks a significant step in our journey towards achieving this.”
