Today I reached a milestone of smashing through my 600 minute sweat goal of the month - on day 10!! How good 🔥  Share

Today's sweat session was a Sunday reset walk in nature. Time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of society and the social media scrolling. It was nice to reflect on the week while listening to the songs of birds and whispers of the wind through the trees. ____________________________________________________ I was lucky enough to snap this photo of a rainbow on my outing, I had forgotten how beautiful they are! 🌈 ___________________________________________________ Today's resource I would like to share is the non-profit organization Nevertheless. Nevertheless seeks to create safe spaces for lgbtqia+ Māori and Pacifika people. Nethertheless seek to enable a space to be heard and free in full authenticity without denying their holistic identity. They aim to disrupt shame and stigma with authenticity, truth and love. ___________________________________________________ Read more about their awesome work and kaupapa here: https://neverthelessnz.com/ Share

Day 8 of sweating was a special day for me. I put in some serious sweat for my competitive netball team, the Kaikorai Demons where we won out first game of the season 🔥💪  Share

Week one of Sweat With Pride is DONE! So far, I have sweated for over 400 minutes, and am nearly half way to my fundraising goal - with $246 raised. A super massive thank you to everyone who has donated- you guys rock!!  Share

Sweat With Pride day six!  Share

Day fives sweat session was more netball tonight - I promise I will do something un-netball related for tomorrow's session!  _______________________________________________☆☆☆ Today was a milestone! I have reached $200 in fundraising - that's more than double what I had this morning 🥳 a super massive thank you to everyone who donated today- it genuinely means so much to me! Special shout out to Alex P and Andrew K of EP who were my biggest donators today 💕  _______________________________________________☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆ Today I want to share another important milestone of NZ history: _______________________________________________ ___ Did you know gay marriage was only legalized in August of 2013 in New Zealand? That was ONLY 10 years ago!! While we have made leaps in diversity and inclusion, it cannot be understated the trauma still impacting the lgbtqia+ community for the discrimination they experienced and continue to experience today. Imagine it being illegal to marry the love of your life. In the spirit of this, I have shared an image of the Brisbane harbour bridge the day gay marriage was legalized in Australia - this happened in 2018 - just over 5 years ago (so incredibly recent). I remember the absolute power of hope that it was a turning point in culture. 🏳️‍🌈 Share

Day fours sweat session consisted of 60 minutes of netball training with the absolute queens of Kaikorai netball club 😊🔥 Today's fun fact: did you know 1 in 20 New Zealanders identify as lgbtqia+? That means it's highly likely you know someone in your life who identifies as something other than hetero, which is a timely reminder to always check yourself, your language and the way you treat people. Not everyone is open about their identity, and being kind and mindful of language and bigotry is a great way to ensure you are not damaging someone's mental health (and Noone likes a homophobe!). Make this world a better place ✨️ Share

Day three of Sweat With Pride meant 3 hours of indoor netball! Can confirm lots of sweat occurred today. Shout out to the great community at metro sports, my literal second home 💙  Share

Today was a nice easy beach walk catching up with an old friend. Whilst it wasn't the most physical, the laughing, memory sharing and catching up was good for the soul. It was a reminder of the importance of friendship and detaching from technology for a while. . . Today's statistic is less fun, but very important nonetheless: approximately 50% of lgbtq+ people experience depression and 60% experience anxiety. This is exacerbated by hate crimes, discrimination and poor access to Healthcare and other essential services. It is a reminder to be kind, always 🏳️‍🌈💙 Share

Today marks day one of Sweat With Pride 2024!  Share
