Writer, journalist, avid reader and disability advocate Robyn Hunt (ONZM) is this year's recipient of the New Zealand Arts Access Accolade. It's a recognition of the support she's given to Arts Access Aotearoa and her long-standing commitment to human rights.
Robyn grew up in rural Canterbury with low vision, but this hasn't prevented a high flying career including reporting for The Press, co-chairing the group that developed the first Disability Strategy and becoming a Human Rights Commissioner.
