Congratulations to Lisa Taouma for her win in the 2025 Voyager Media Awards for Myths & Maidens, in the category of Best Current Affairs (long) or Documentary.
This Coconet TV original, hour-long documentary delves into the sticky issues of colourism, fat-phobia, and how our societies have been taught to view women of colour across the ages. Woven through a rich tapestry of stories from women in Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji and Aotearoa.
