Join Fiona Summerfield and Suzi Gould as they kōrero about their journey to becoming good allies as Pākehā in Aotearoa.

Fiona and Suzi share their personal experiences of recognizing their pākehā privilege in Aotearoa New Zealand. They discuss moments of realisation, such as understanding how the education system favours pākehā and learning about the discrimination present in basic activities like finding a rental property. They also explore the challenges of recognizing systemic inequities, especially for those who benefit from the system.

In their discussion, Suzi and Fiona highlight the importance of actions in being an authentic ally to Māori, Pacific peoples, and other marginalised groups. They acknowledge the difficult aspects of being an ally, such as calling out racism and using one's voice in spaces where these groups are excluded.
