 Atipa Mabonga was born in Zimbabwe, raised in Southland, she's an accomplished track and field athlete, and is now the talent and culture manager for the reigning Superbowl champions.

Her time with the Kansas City Chiefs coincides with their back to back Superbowl victories, last year and this year.

She talks to Kathryn about how she went from high school in Winton, to university in Texas and then landed a coveted role with a global sporting brand.
