We share lots of laughs and receive lots of wisdom from Brenda Milo.

Show notes

We had the absolute pleasure to meet with Brenda Milo (née Siaosi) on the lands of Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Brenda is a lawyer who has specialised in environmental law, planning, infrastructure and public/administrative law for almost 18 years - first in New Zealand (NZ) and now in Sydney. Born in Samoa, she was raised as the middle child of five sisters and a brother in a working class, provincial New Zealand town, and now a proud resident of Western Sydney. Brenda works as a Principal Lawyer and Manager - Legal for the NSW Government’s primary environment regulator. Brenda is also a mother to two young children, including one with complex special needs, and shares full time carer responsibilities for her parents and in-laws with her husband, Talamau John Milo.

Brenda wears many flowers in her flower crown – she is in the inaugural president of the Pacific Legal Association of New South Wales, co-lead alongside Trina Faaiuaso (PLAQ President, and former podcast guest!) to co-create the Pasefika Lawyers Collective, Board Director and Company Secretary for the Pacific Professionals Network, co-founder of the Pasefika Autism Village Support Group and official observer for the Aotearoa Pacific Practitioners Group.

We had a very wholehearted conversation with Brenda filled with many laughs and reflections. Some wonderful digressions include about humility as a Samoan value, motherhood, and her connection to the Misadventures of a Pacific Professional webisodes.
