To celebrate International Women's Day at Spark, we had the pleasure of hosting a kōrero with Kiri Nathan, a renowned Māori fashion designer, entrepreneur, cultural ambassador, and New Zealander of the Year finalist.   This year's theme was "Accelerate Action," and in her kōrero, Kiri shared her journey of resilience, passion, and bold moves. She spoke openly about the challenges she has overcome, the lessons she has learned, and the importance of staying true to your values while pushing boundaries. Her words were a strong reminder of the power of perseverance, being true to yourself, and supporting each other.   It was an honour to have Kiri share her inspiring story with the Spark team.
