[62] Lachie Holt | Kaiako, Content Creator, Activist

Lachlan Holt is a kaiako (teacher), activist, content creator, and a student of Aotearoa New Zealand history. Being constantly curious about history, and keen to share his learnings, is what led Lachie to share his journey on social media with the handle aotearoahistory_ . He has swiftly grown his community, embracing this new life of a part-time influencer and full-time educator. During this korero (conversation) Lachie shares his observations on Tall Poppy Syndrome specifically as an educator working with youth, and as someone sharing their life online with all the commentary that brings. We discuss what drives his 'why' behind the page, the importance of a support system, and the value in having open discussions about (sometimes tense) topics brought up from the actions of our ancestors.
