About the speaker
Elisha is the founder of Nisa, a Wellington-based underwear label that employs women from refugee backgrounds. She quit her job as a litigation lawyer to set up Nisa, with the dream of being able to provide interesting and meaningful paid work to as many New New Zealanders as possible.
The theme is RESTART, and Elisha will be talking about the journeys of her staff to New Zealand, as well as her journey away from the law into the weird and wonderful world of underwear manufacturing and setting up a social enterprise.
