Award-winning journalist, writer and leader for inclusion and equity in Aotearoa, Ali Mau's 20-year career cemented her as one of the country's most recognised faces.
In 2018 Ali was the force behind the #MeTooNZ journalism project, publishing major investigations over five years, and changing the way sexual harassment is reported by media, using a trauma-informed and survivor-focused kaupapa. In 2021, Alison was awarded Reporter of the Year for her leadership of the project. Ali went on to become the co-founder of Tika, a tech-based charity created to bring free legal help to survivors of sexual harm.
But it's her new memoir No Words for This, that might be her bravest piece of writing yet.
