Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa, nau mai hoki mai ki te kaupapa kōrero Real Talk.
I’m Tania Carr, and today in this episode, you are going to hear the beautiful story from our girl Lucy Jonhnson.
Lucy has been with our Real Talk whānau from the very beginning as our entertainment, blessing us with her beautiful voice and energy. It has been a blesssing and beautiful to witness her blossom into who she is today, a strong wāhine Māori.
Lucy took the stage at our Real Talk Mō Ngā Rangatahi event in Waikato, sharing her struggles, her trials, her tribulations, her time as a contestant on Australian Idol alongside Stan Walker, her mental health and how connecting to her Māoritanga, and her whakapapa, has been an integral part of grounding her, and forming her identity.
Here is Lucy’s story...
Lucy Johnson is a beautifully authentic wāhine Māori, and a very talented musician. We are so lucky to have her not only perform at all our Real Talk events, but also to have had her share her story with us at Real Talk Waikato.
Lucy is an advocate for growth, finding comfort in discomfort and empowering others through words -spoken and sung 🎶.
“Being scared and doing it anyway has been the biggest gift I’ve ever given myself.”

Love & light,
Tania & the Real Talk whānau xx
