Tylah Farani-Watene
From the uri and villages of Ngāti Maru, Taputimu, Fai'a'ai and Nofoali'i, Ty is dedicated to opening doors for Māori and Pasifika in the global discourse on sustainable development.
Believing in the power of indigenous knowledge, Ty has spoken at the UN Foundation's Global Goals Week in New York and was awarded the only Aotearoa NZ representative for the Global Citizen Youth Leader Awards 2024.
Her most important mission in life is to be a role model for her younger sisters, Blayke and Ridley, so they feel confident navigating the world as strong Pacific women.
