Spirit
For too long, the migrant story in Aotearoa has focused on the lack. We're here to change that.
We're shining a spotlight on the extraordinary contribution — and the fire that drives us forward. Her Migrant Spirit is a storytelling series from Girl In Motion: a collection of interviews with migrant women across Aotearoa.
But we aren't just telling stories. We're building the collective of role models and the support network we wish we'd had when we first arrived.
Visibility matters. For too long there haven't been enough leaders who look like us or share our roots.
"If she can do that — so can I."
— What we want every migrant woman to feel when she leaves this page.
Every Monday,
meet a new woman.
Story 1 is live. New stories drop weekly — follow along.
