This Is Just the Beginning | The Vision Behind PaCIVICa (PEP Talk S1 E3)


Listen Later

Something powerful is growing in West Auckland — and this is just the beginning.

In this episode of Pep Talk, we share a major update:

  • Salā Marie Young steps into the CEO role at PaCIVICa

  • The vision to see a Pacific Prime Minister within 20 years

  • How PaCIVICa was incubated through Purpose Empowered People

  • Why leadership pathways must begin early — from prefect to Parliament


PaCIVICa exists to create the conditions for greater Pacific representation in civic leadership — not by accident, but by design.


As Marie shares in this episode, Prime Ministers don’t “pop out of thin air.” They are shaped by pathways, governance experience, and community support  .

We believe leadership should be normalised from a young age — so that Pacific voices are present at every table where decisions are made.


Purpose Empowered People (PEP) continues its mission to build strategy, systems and story — incubating bold ideas like PaCIVICa into reality  .

Because this is only the beginning.
