The Kofkin Bond’s Podcast

124. Overcoming Adversity with Nova Peris

In between lockdowns we were able to be a part of an amazing experience with Nova Peris. Kofkin Bond was a proud sponsor of the statue for Nova at Fed Square. It was truly an honour to be a part of the day. 

Nova gave a speech to some friends of Kofkin Bond and we thought it was so powerful that we should have the story told to our listeners. We hope you enjoy the episode from Nova about her achievements and the hurdles she was able to overcome to inspire millions and to set up her legacy.
