📣 NEW EPISODE 📣
In episode 9 we kōrero with Tiana Metuarau - a Māori/Kuki Airani student athlete who uses her platform to highlight the beauty of her Polynesian whakapapa.

For the first time ever, Tiana publicly opens up about overcoming anxiety and body image issues and how this has been amplified through her netball journey.

She talks to us about what it was like playing semi-professional netball at 15 years old for the Central Pulse while having to balance high school and bringing Te Ao Māori into her netball environments. This ANZ Premiership season she's made the move south to play for the Southern Steel.

EPISODE 4 LIVE ft Lavi Vetelino a.k.a Fresh Brince

In episode 4 we kōrero with Samoan/Kuki Airani social media influencer Lavi Vetelino. He was raised in Palmerston North before moving to Logan, Brisbane, and then returning to Aotearoa over 5 years ago.

Lavi is a genealogy nerd and can trace his Cook Islands heritage back ten generations. After living in Australia for 9 years and having limited access to his cultural heritage, his family made the move to Mangere where the overload of Polynesian culture came as a shock.

Coco-Ngāti hosts Maia Wilson, Johnson Raela and Lavi also share openly about their struggles with body image.

“Back then (early 1980’s), it wasn’t normal to even see an Indian in a place like Te Puke, so when my Mum started having a relationship with my Dad, my Mums family didn’t accept it… my Dads family were back in India and they used to write letters and it wasn’t really accepted by them either - because there’s a way of doing things, we choose your wife, you don’t…”

EPISODE 1: Ravinder Hunia is an award winning sports journalist and talks to us about her interesting family dynamics, with her mum being Māori (from Te Puke) and her father Punjab (Daroli Khurd), and what that was like growing up in New Zealand.

She shares about the struggles she has faced as a female sports journalist and how at times, male journalists wouldn’t talk to her, because she is a wāhine.

Ravinder is a mother of 3, a wife and currently a Sky Sports presenter.
