Summary: Superhero reader Tapahia Heke sees the superhero in everyone. In this comic he sits down with 14 Maori wāhine and describes their superpowers. Working across a range of different disciplines (business, design, iwi development, film, education), these wāhine share a common dedication to working for their communities and show that the skills for success take many different forms. The wāhine toa comic is an inspiration piece created to empower, enable, and energise our young girls and wāhine everywhere. Everyone has a superpower ....sometimes we just need a little encouragement to use our talents!
