Fortheboys Podcast S2 EP33 with Reina Vaai

Listeners - You're in for a treat. Reina Vaai is a dynamic Samoan lawyer, journalist and also is the author of children's books. She was great to sit down with as she speaks her mind freely and has strong opinions. I loved having her on as she is such a great example and role model for our young girls (and boys) who aspire to take careers that may seem difficult to get into, or choose career paths that may seem inaccessible.The world needs more Reinas and she is a massive asset to her community. I could go on and on about Reina as she is incredibly multi faceted, but none of what I would say would measure up to how well spoken and eloquent she is - so I will let her do the talking..... Faafetai tele lava Reina for your time.   Music by @marekothehorse Logo Art by @larissamcm

EPISODE 8 : Reina Vaai

Reina Vaai is from Sataua, Savai'i. She lived in Samoa in her early years, until a cyclone destroyed her village and, her home. Her parents made the decision to move to New Zealand permanently. Here, she grew up in a humble home that housed their wider whānau. Her parents and siblings all shared one room.  Upon leaving school, Reina pursued a career in law, and decided to practice criminal law. Not one to be confined to a single career pathway, this ambitious young woman has also worked as a television reporter and director. Just recently, she directed her first web series, The Misadventures of a Pacific Professional, and has written her first children’s book, The Inventor, dedicated to the children of South Auckland.  In this episode we talk about Reina's upbringing and career pathway. We discuss the realities of defending some of our worst criminals and, we have a conversation about privilege, who has it, who doesn't, and how we recognise our own. Note: This podcast contains some adult themes.
