Lisa is known for her #mumlife vlogs but she takes us into life before TikTok stardom - growing up with drag king mums, getting pregnant at 21 and living in a garage. All those things are IRAW exclusives!

On top of all that, Lisa is a businesswoman and homeowner.

Island Roots, Auckland Ways

EP 8 - Lisa Perese-Cullen

Just us this week… with our last episode for… we don’t know how long.

Making Island Roots, Auckland Ways has been a labour of love. Even as recently as a few years ago, there were no podcasts that represented who we were as Pacific 20-somethings trying to find our way in the world. We hope this has been a safe space for you, as much it has for us. Until next time, alofa tele atu.
