Ep 6 Shirley Wright – on a life with people as the focus and how her work is a privilege
from Christchurch Invitation · host Mahia te Aroha
In Shirley Wright’s childhood her father’s habit of inviting people home meant interesting conversations around the dinner table. Even in a family with seven children there was always enough food for one more: you “put another spud in the pot.” She talks here about the inherited memories she grew up with; of a great grand-mother and an unjust pauper’s grave; of her mother's teachings and of how much her work with refugees and migrants has given her.
