Growing up, Te Kahukura Boynton's (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāi Tūhoe, Te Whakatōhea) bedtime stories were far from the world of Hogwart's witchcraft and wizardry.
Instead, she was turning the pages of personal finance bestsellers, dispatching 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' by the time she was eight years old.
These days, she is the director and founder of 'Māori Millionaire' - a podcast and platform with over 30,000 followers - dedicated to educating others, particularly rangatahi Māori, on how to achieve financial freedom.
The platform also documents Boynton's own progress towards her goal of becoming a millionaire by the time she is 25.
Her passion for creating change for under privileged communities and reducing the wealth gap has seen her recognised in this year's Y25 list - a programme acknowledging our nation's young trailblazers and changemakers.
