  • Social change happens through tiny, everyday actions of acceptance and love.
    Kat is a gay woman, adopted by a New Zealand family from Russia when she was three, who has experienced the confusion, fear and depression of LGBTQ youth on her path to finding acceptance.
    Kat now works fearlessly on behalf of the LGBTQ community where she has two Youth Week awards and is a Local Hero New Zealander of the Year.

    Kat, I was a mum from the soccer team you coached at that christian school. You shone then - as you still do. You lead those kids in the way you lead now and we are all better people for knowing you. Thank you for being you.
