Big Bold Beautiful Women

Big Bold Beautiful Women - a day to empower and build confidence in our Tāmaki wāhine, developed by an amazing HEART Change Agent, Rina Kopu. We had 9 of our wonderful mana wāhine have fittings with Dress for Success and CurvyPlus, including 3 generations from one family! All these amazing looks were revealed on the big day.

 It was a family fun day for Tāmaki women and their children. There was an amazing team of volunteers doing make-up, nails, and hair for mums while their kids were playing in supervised areas. We had some amazing guest speakers followed by rangatahi on the catwalk strutting new looks, as well as a magnificent half-time karaoke show. On the 29th of October, we had a massive turnout of about 70 community members celebrating female empowerment.

Big Bold Beautiful Women fits perfectly into our kaupapa of healthy relationships in Tāmaki. A positive relationship with self is important so you can have positive relationships with others. The theme of the day was to encourage a positive self-image and build confidence in our wāhine. We hope the Big Bold Beautiful Women will become an annual fixture in the HEART/Tāmaki calendar, and a huge congratulations to Rina for developing her idea and her dream team that brought her vision to life. A special thank you to the Panmure Business Association, Dress for Success, CurvyPlus, and Pastor Carla Perese for opening up Faith Family Church to host us. See you all in 2023!
