According to the Daily Star reported on December 28, New Zealand's first Maori female news anchor, with a traditional "tattoo" face to carry out prime-time news newsletter broadcasts.
Oliyni Kayapala, the world's first Speary news anchor, 37, ran a news alert on New Zealand's mainstream television news show NewsHub on Monday.
Maori are Polynesians, indigenous people of mainland New Zealand, and tattooing a traditional Maori totem on the chin is a Māori female tradition. In 2017, Oliyni tattooed a totem on her chin after discovering through DNA testing that she was 100% Māori.
Auckland-based Olivier is currently a mother of four whose lifelong dream is to become a news anchor. And the moment when she broadcasts the news with a spear-sharp face is even more significant, and it is a historic moment for her or for the Maori nation.
Oliani thinks her dream come true story is commendable to everyone, but most of all Māori, she never imagined she would become a prime-time news anchor, but the truth is that she does broadcast the news fluently in the 6 p.m. news.
"It's not just a step forward for both Māori and the press!" Oliani said this about becoming a news anchor. She also said that this is not only a huge impact on her own generation, but also a long-term impact on future generations, which has broken the world's inherent perception of certain industries. On a cultural level, this progress implies the identification and acceptance of minority culture by mainstream cultures.
"Don't use culture and identity as your background, but as a force for greatness." This is the most powerful sentence that Olivieri has ever said. We, the Chinese nation, also deserve to learn from and reflect on her views.
