A trailblazing Māori scholar has finally received the recognition she deserves — nearly 100 years after her passing.

Mākereti Papakura, believed to be the first Indigenous woman to study at the University of Oxford, has been awarded a posthumous degree certificate.

Papakura sadly passed away in 1930, just weeks before she was due to present her thesis. Her research was later published as The Old-Time Māori — the first ethnographic study written by a Māori author.

We hope this brings a smile!

Living life in colour: A new way of living in Addictive Eaters Anonymous

At the height of my addictive eating, at my grossest weight, I could not stand the colour pink. I felt repulsed wearing pink because it highlighted and illuminated my heavy set body.

Today I woke early in the morning, dressed in the dark and came downstairs to call my sponsor. After receiving an engaged signal, I went to the bathroom and saw that my slippers and bed socks were pink. My dressing gown is one hairy, fluffy, pink hooded coat. My glove body scrubs are pink and my bath towel is pink.
