EP240 – Leaders of the Now | Rangimarie on Rangatahi Voice & the Future

This episode is a powerful kōrero with Rangimarie Te Whenua, a staunch rangatahi from the far north, speaking on behalf of our young people and offering a perspective we need to hear more of.Rangimarie shares her whakaaro on the whakataukī “Ko ngā rangatahi ngā rangatira mō āpōpō” — and challenges it by saying,“Ko ngā rangatahi ngā rangatira o ināianei.”We talk about tikanga, what rangatahi are actually discussing among themselves, the importance of listening to rangatahi, and how movements like the hīkoi are shaping courage and collective action.This kōrero centres rangatahi leadership, not as something that’s coming one day but something that already exists. Rangimarie speaks with clarity, confidence, and heart about building better futures and what real rangatahi leadership looks like right now.IF you're interested in any of the Planting Seeds Podcast offerings please use the link below to fill out the survey and express your interest:Thats US: ⁠https://form.typeform.com/to/PqdcWDEW⁠
