The Speak It Up team is saddened to learned Nigel Latta’s passing this Tuesday after his courageous battle with stomach cancer. Nigel was not just a remarkable individual; he was a beacon of hope and inspiration to many through his work with televison, public speaking and the various books he published especially regarding parenting and mental health. During his time with our student social enterprise in 2022, he played a pivotal role in supporting our Mental Health event. We will remember his kindness and empathy towards us, as we were simply students from Nelson College trying to run a large scale event. His heartfelt discussions and insights truly resonated with everyone in attendance, teaching us invaluable lessons about how parents can communicate effectively with their children about mental health.
His warmth, passion, and dedication to making a difference will be profoundly missed. Nigel had an incredible ability to connect with people, and his legacy will continue to inspire us all. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
