‘We were never meant to leave culture at the door’ | Amanda Moors-Mailei

In this episode of Mana Mind StrongHer, I sit down with Tofa Amanda Moors-Mailei, a proud Sāmoan woman, educator, strategist and social impact leader whose work is reshaping conversations around Pasifika leadership, education and systems change in Australia.Amanda is the founder of Moana Impact Studio and co-chair of the Australian Pasifika Educators Network (APEN). Together, we unpack identity, migration, motherhood, representation, culturally grounded leadership and the importance of creating systems where Pasifika communities are not just included, but truly seen, valued and empowered.This is a powerful talanoa about culture, belonging, education and the responsibility of writing our own narratives.A conversation grounded in truth, wisdom and community.Follow Mana Mind StrongHer on Instagram for more conversations amplifying Brown, Black and Pasifika voices.
