Actress and Pasifika trailblazer Teuila Blakely
Teuila Blakely will be familiar to many Kiwis thanks to her roles on tv and film productions such as Shortland Street and Sione's Wedding. As such, she has found herself leading the way for Pasifika women in the tv/film industry
She was also involved in a high-profile sex-tape incident with former NZ Warriors player Konrad Hurrell but refused to let that define her.
In this episode Teuila talks about her upbringing and the 'overt racism' her family had to overcome, the recent passing of her mother, and what we could learn from our pacific neighbours.
Enchanting, intelligent, talented and a delight to sit down with.
