EDITOR’S LETTER
A LITTLE HUSTLE • The minds behind our Resilience issue are not afraid of the fight.
LUCY ROSIEK • Lucy Rosiek is dynamite. She’s a firecracker you can’t put out. No small flame, once she’s on, she’s on. It’s in her eyes – a knowing look that assures you she’s not afraid of what comes next. Even if she is. In the face of catastrophe, the proud Māori model knows how to wade her way through. She lets herself feel it all – the beauty, the pain, the resistance. It’s all part of the process, and Rosiek isn’t immune to the transformation. It’s a sign of the ultimate performer, and Rosiek is ready to put on a show.
