Kia Ora/ Welcome,

This episode is a special one as it was my first interview while on holiday back in my home country of Aōtearoa/ New Zealand in December 2022.

I was excited to chat with the one and only Te Kahukura Boyndon who is the young woman behind the brand Māori Millionaire.

Te Kahukura is law student on a mission to empower māori to become financially independent through sharing education in finance, investment and personal development.

This was such an inspiring conversation as I shared my own story with Te Kahukura of being māori and navigating my way through starting an online business. For me the concept of being an entrepreneur or even a millionaire as a māori women was something I had never experienced or seen before. When I discovered Māori Millionaire on social media it was such an empowering moment and it made me proud that we can change the narrative as māori and help our people to create financial freedom for themselves and their whānau (family).

Te Kahukura speaks about the statistics in Aōtearoa when we compare the opportunities and resources provided to māori vs non māori. The real and raw truth is in Aōtearoa māori are stereotyped as being associated with relying on the social welfare system, being a large population in the justice system and high school drop outs. Te Kahukura speaks about her own personal story and the main reason why she created this platform as she experienced this during her childhood. We speak about her future plans to complete her law degree and to expand the Māori Millionaire platform.

I truly admire Te Kahukura for the values she lives by and her dedication to uplifting our people in Aōtearoa. It makes me even more proud that she is as a young māori woman who is pursing her dreams of giving back to her people.
