    Introducing Isabella Ieremia!! Born and raised in central Tāmaki Makaurau, Isabella is of Sāmoan and Pākehā descent - a proud afakasi woman.

  • SZN 1 EP 5 || Sarah Elisaia || Nursing is brown culture
    Introducing Sarah Elisaia! First generation Tāmaki born Samoan and raised mātāmua descendent of my humbly generous tūpuna, who dreamed of opportunity and prosperity for their grandchildren in Aotearoa. Sarah is also one of the many health care professionals from her family working as a Registered Nurse, who through their generational sacrifice, determination and hard work, have graced her with the opportunity to learn from them significantly the affirming highs and detrimental lows that come with dedicating your life to the wellbeing of others. She is passionate about much- but mostly about finding the balance between service and self, forever learning and surrounding herself with a community of joy.
    In this EP, Sarah bravely displays the emotional labour that nurses go through as a job and that is why it’ll always be; pay nurses what they deserve. We are honoured to have Sarah on STE; she’s a beautiful product of her family and the leadership through service that brown culture embodies.

    Before listening, we want to acknowledge that mental health is extremely important to us. That being said, young women of colour at your workplace are not a dumping ground for your trauma.

  • SZN 1 EP 3 || Aaminah Ghani || Being the diversity tick isn’t in our contract
    Introducing Aaminah Ghani! Born and brought up in Kirikiriroa, Aaminah has always been inspired by her family to give back to the community and advocate for just processes. Currently working as a Supply Chain Business Graduate, Aaminah is dedicated to carving out spaces and amplifying young brown women in areas they are often unseen. Her passions led her to launch the Women in Business Association at the University of Waikato and, more recently, to be elected to the YWCA Auckland Board.
    Aaminah’s insight into the corporate world from her perspective is second to no one. Navigating the corporate world as a woman of colour is an extremely difficult challenge, and most experiences are described as ‘surviving the corporate world.’ Aaminah's main driver is her community and recognising that forging steps today will eliminate mountains for those in the future.
    We admire Aaminah for her grace and thoughtfulness in navigating corporate spaces; we also admire her jokes and are so privileged to have her on STE, make sure to have a notebook handy to take notes!

  • SZN 1 EP 2 || Boundaries and Relationships

    Whats good? For Latayvias's second ep we talked boundaries and relationships; platonic, romantic, with work and with self. We had a full studio for this one; with Tayv and Gyll, producer Ella and special guest / STE sister, Selu-Kian Faletoes. It's all revelations, preventions and tangible tools in this one so get your notebooks ready, fanks. Learning how to prioritise one's self via boundaries and communication, is what sets us up to be our best selves at work too.

  • SZN 1 EP 1 || Latayvia Tualasea-Tautai || You can’t budget your way out of poverty
    Introducing Latayvia Tualasea-Tautai, who is a second generation Auckland Samoan and a proud product of her grandparents’ migrant dream, the sacrifices of her village and their collective prayers. Hailing from the villages Levi Saleimoa and Solosolo. Currently working as a project manager at the YWCA Tāmaki Makaurau.
    Latayvia honoured us by opening up about her upbringing in being raised by her resilient single mother on the benefit. Her work today strives to serve those in similar hardships, and honour her families sacrifices. A narrative of serving people, because you understand their situation, familiar to most brown women. She’s incredibly articulate and intelligent, but will have you hyena laughing. We are so privileged to have her on STE and hope you enjoy.
