Director of our Māori and Indigenous Research Centre, Ngā Wai a te Tūī, Professor Jenny Lee-Morgan (Waikato, Ngāti Mahuta, Te Ahiwaru, Chinese) sat down with Quiane Matata-Sipu from NUKU, a podcast about kickass Indigenous women doing things differently.
Jenny shares her experiences as a Māori-Chinese wahine growing up in Aotearoa.
“The values of whānau and manaakitanga were a cultural norm to us, as both Māori and Chinese,” says Jenny.
She discusses identity and racism, reflecting on her book Jade Taniwha and digs deep into the topic of decolonisation, sharing her belief that it all starts with decolonising our minds.
