Krystal Kara Takatāpui Talk

Send us Fan Mail“This is my love letter.” ❤️🌈Tonight on Takatāpui Talk — Indigenous Voices, we meet Krystal Kara, one of the wāhine stepping onto the stage for Miss Whakawahine 2026.Krystal shares her whakapapa, growing up Māori, the whakawāhine who came before her, sisterhood, visibility and why Miss Whakawahine means so much more to her than beauty or a crown.For Krystal, this pageant is a love letter — to her aunties, her whānau, the trailblazers who created space before her, and ultimately, to herself.“We’ve always been here. We’re visible.”With Miss Whakawahine taking place this Saturday, we’re proud to share another voice from this extraordinary community.🎥 Krystal Kara — tonight on Takatāpui Talk, Indigenous Voices#TakatāpuiTalk #IndigenousVoices #MissWhakawahine #Whakawahine #Takatāpui #Māori #TransMāori #Sisterhood #Visibility #PrideAotearoa #IndigenousStoriesThank you for listening to Takatāpui Talk with Donald Hollingsworth.If this kōrero resonated with you, please follow, share, and leave a review on your favourite podcast platform.
