Listen "How are Pacific beauty queens breaking the mould?"
Episode Synopsis
When Moemoana Schwenke took to the stage for her talent at Miss Samoa 2023, she had the crowd roaring. Not only did she perform the siva afi – a fire knife dance normally performed by men – but she did it to The Prodigy’s Fire Starter – and she told the legend of Nafanua, the Goddess of War. This is what you call breaking stereotypes. But she’s not the only young Pacific woman doing this on the pageant circuit. Sistas, Let's Talk meets the beauty queens breaking down barriers.
