Five new creators join WeAreTENZING: two Olympians, a Silver Fern, a cook and a comedian
The WeAreTENZING whānau is growing. Five new creators joined the team in 2025 — two Olympians, a Silver Fern, a viral cook and a comedian with hundreds of thousands of followers.
Kitty Williams — Kitty’s Kitchen
Kitty Williams is an enthusiastic content creator and recipe developer. From running a food truck to a catering business, then creating the viral “Lockdown Scroll”, her cookbook is sure to leave you drooling — classic recipes with a naughty twist.
She creates from her home in Christchurch with the help of her assistants: two pugs who wait eagerly for crumbs to hit the kitchen floor.
Phoenix Karaka
Phoenix Karaka is a powerhouse on and off the netball court. A veteran defender for the Silver Ferns, she has represented New Zealand at the highest level across three World Cups and the Commonwealth Games, and her gold medal at the 2019 World Cup is one of many career highlights.
Phoenix is more than an athlete: a proud Māori wahine, a devoted mother and a cultural ambassador passionate about her heritage and te reo Māori. Her journey from young talent to sports icon and working mum resonates with fans across the board, and her magnetic personality makes her a natural at creating content that connects.
Shiray Kaka
Shiray Kaka is a New Zealand rugby sevens athlete who embodies passion and authenticity on and off the field. An Olympic gold medallist, she is renowned for the energy and positive vibes she brings to any event.
A proud Māori and Samoan, she is deeply committed to uplifting Māori and Pasifika youth, using her platform to encourage young people to embrace their true selves. Married to former All Blacks Sevens player Gillies Kaka, she balances her athletic career with entrepreneurial ventures and content creation — with her signature humour and love of butter intact.
Haukatangi Heta
Haukatangi Heta is a dynamic content creator from Te Awamutu. With strong ties to his marae, iwi and hapū, he proudly identifies as Māori first and always, and his family is his inspiration and lifeline.
Known for comedic skits that bring joy and laughter, Haukatangi has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok. Through his content he entertains and celebrates his cultural heritage, fostering community and connection among viewers.
Olivia McTaggart
Olivia McTaggart is a New Zealand Olympic pole vaulter who made her debut at Paris 2024. With over 15 years of athletic experience and a deep passion for inspiring others, she uses her platform to advocate for the transformative power of sport, emphasising resilience, dedication and self-belief.
