Teuila Blakely is a total bad-ass and this was such a treat.

You may know her from her work on the old music channel C4, or Shortland Street, Bro-Town, Sione's Wedding or even DWTS or a zillion other things.

But this is less about her career and more about her journey- some pivotal moments that have shaped her personal and professional life.

From the challenges of being raised by a very tough mum, to then becoming a teenage solo-mum, humiliating experiences with racism, her beautiful friendship with her ex-fiancé Oscar Kightely, how she went from McDonalds to movies and so much more. Including THAT snap-chat incident.

Teuila is a genuine trailblazer, and it was an honor to have her share some of the less glamourous aspects of her life.

She is as authentic as it gets and an open book.
