Co-Presenter
Kena Duignan is the Community Innovation Lead at Wesley Community Action. She is a Pākehā woman who lives in her hometown of Te Whanganui a Tara with her partner, two small children and wider whānau. The focus of her mahi is on helping to shift the stubborn systems that aren’t working for us anymore – by supporting responses that are crafted from the beginning by those most affected, and who are too often cut off from being able to contribute all the awesome things they have to offer.
