The team translate & unpack one of the most talked-about scenes from the Barbie movie: America Ferrera's monologue on the impossible standards placed on women.

In this episode of Whakamāori, the team—Chey Milne, Tākuta Anaha Hiini, Piripi Gordon, & Atakura Hunia— translate and unpack one of the most talked-about scenes from the Barbie movie: America Ferrera's monologue on the impossible standards placed on women.

It's a speech that hits hard and hits home about the pressure to be everything but never too much.

The panel explores how this modern feminist kōrero translates into te reo Māori—not just the words but the emotion, the frustration, and the everyday truths behind it.

It's an episode for anyone who's ever felt like they're constantly walking a line—and wants the reo to talk about it.
