Vira Paky is a proud Congolese-Kiwi-South African with a vibrant view that touches on the evolution of first-generation African refugee identity and growing up at the intersections of institutions. She is deeply fuelled by my passion for justice and compassion, building upon my academic foundations in sociology and anthropology.
