Michelle is Samoan Greek, a mum of five, grandmother of three and founder of B4A Collective.
In this episode of Mana Mind StrongHer, Michelle opens up about growing up with a father who lived with bipolar disorder at a time when mental health carried so much stigma and shame, being mixed and not always feeling accepted, and witnessing racism and low expectations of Islander kids in the education system.
We also talk motherhood, faith, family, living abroad, building B4A Collective and what it means to keep backing yourself when your circumstances change.
Michelle’s message to women, especially women of colour, is one worth hearing: don’t limit yourself. Know the value you bring, use your voice and keep going.
