NUKU
Kia ora e te whānau. Today is a very special day, we celebrate NUKU //100!
Through this series we have met and interviewed wāhine right across the motu - the matauranga holders, the frontliners, the carers, the whale whisperers, the teachers, the researchers, the ahi kaa, the boundary pushers, the leaders, the workers, the innovators, the motivators, wāhine who are empowering across generations by being unapologetically themselves.
NUKU //100 holds a special place in my heart. It is my honour to introduce you to my māmā, this 100th wāhine is a reminder to us all that we will come across so many inspiring wāhine on our journey, from all over the world in all walks of life, but we must never forget those who make us who we are - our mothers, our grandmothers, our aunties, our sisters, our daughters.

//029 Kanoa Lloyd, television presenter
Kanoa (Ngāti Porou, Tūhoe) started off as a kid’s tv presenter and is now one of very few (less than a handful on our count) wahine Māori to lead prime time television in Aotearoa.
Born in Gisborne, she spent much of her childhood moving around Tokomaru Bay, East Cape and Coromandel, before moving to Cromwell. Recently reconnecting to Ruatoria has become a significant part of her adult life and was key in her journey to strengthen her hononga to all sides of her whakapapa.
Using her platform to advocate for and address issues that affect many New Zealanders, Kanoa flows between waves of both public support and public criticism.
In this episode we talk about the joys and pains of being a wahine Māori in mainstream media, we learn about Kanoa’s childhood, she shares stories of the indigenous women who inspire her most, and we laugh, and cringe, about all the keyboard warriors.
