Angelou Brown, a five-year-old Kiwi-Samoan boy from Christchurch, shared a video about his father’s anti-violence movement ‘She Is Not Your Rehab’.
The video was created in the hope Johnson, whom Angelou called “the strongest man on the planet”, would see it and would wear the group’s t-shirt to promote its message denouncing violence against women.
Responding via Instagram, Johnson said he was “a bit emotional watching this five-year-old little boy speak to me”.
“I’m very proud of you, son,” he wrote.
“You don’t understand yet, because you’re too young but just know how courageous and inspiring you are to myself and our aiga (family), but now – to the world.
“I admire your father greatly for standing up and creating She Is Not Your Rehab. And to make sure his mom – your Nana – will never be forgotten. Encouraging men all over the world to treat our women with respect, love and most importantly, violence free.”
In the video, Angelou said that his Nana “had a sad life when they were growing up with lots of fights at home”, which was why his father had been inspired to found She Is Not Your Rehab.
