Teremoana Rapley interview in The Post got butchered by RNZ and syndicated....

Teremoana Rapley (Black Moana Sovereign Storyteller, Matriarchitect) was interviewed by The Post at the weekend. 

RNZ decided to grab bits of the story, add some other info that looks like they got off Google/Wikipedia and created a clickbait story and then syndicated it to NZHerald, Stuff, and MSN among others - it had Tere's friends and rellies thinking she's on her deathbed. 

She's not, and she will be on 531 PI Radio tomorrow at 730am talking about this. As she says she's not dying, she got things to do, and grandchildren she wants to hang out with and eventually great grandchildren. In the meantime, read the original story.
