Appreciate all the support
CONTESTANT NO: 01
NAME: Neve Christina IWIKAU-POI
AGE: 19 Years
VILLAGE (S) HAKUPU ATUA/ AVATELE
CITY: West Auckland, NZ
Fakaalofa Lahi Atu, I hail from the villages of Hakupu Atua and Avatele. I proudly belong to the Tauelima, Fatatautama and Siono families. I'm also part Maori and come from the tribes Tuwharetoa, Nga Puhi and Te Arawa.
I was previous student at MIT studying Performing Arts and decided to take this year off to come right with my mental health which was the best decision I've ever made.
My passion lies within our Pasifika people, their cultures and the arts - Pacific dancing has always been my source of empowerment.
My goal as a contestant in this pageant is to create a platform to promote our Pacific Cultures through Performing Arts.
I look forward to sharing what's left of my journey with all those who have supported me thus far.
I'm extremely grateful to everyone whose helped in any way, shape or form and only hope that come the 23rd of November, I leave each one of you with something to remember.
Fakaaue Lahi, Contestant #1 Neve.
