NAT BOLTT
NAT BOLTT doesn't just embody sovereignty in her work - she celebrates the 'slow burn' journey it took to claim it, too.
At 53, having just directed her first feature film, Holy Days (in cinemas now), she carries a new sense of passion, spirit and dedication in her armoury - the kind that only comes from lessons learned the long way round. She calls this chapter, simply, "go time."
Holy Days follows a grieving boy and three eccentric elderly nuns who set out on a chaotic road trip across New Zealand to save their convent - blending quirky humour with heartfelt moments to explore faith, friendship and second chances, with a stellar cast including Judy Davis, Miriam Margolyes and Jacki Weaver.
RACHEL HUNTER
There are some women who seem to become more radiant with time.
Not because life has been perfect. Not because they've avoided heartbreak, change or reinvention. But because they've allowed life to soften them instead of harden them.
Rachel Hunter feels like one of those women.
For decades, the world knew her as an icon. One of the most recognisable faces of the '90s. Effortlessly beautiful, endlessly photographed, globally admired.
But these days, Rachel's world feels slower. More intentional. Rooted in something deeper than image.
FATOUMATA DIAWARA
“Music wasn’t something I chose as a strategy.
It was something I held onto.”
Fatoumata’s career has been marked by both artistic recognition and cultural commitment. Her debut album Fatou introduced a voice that felt intimate and expansive at once. In the years that followed, she gathered Malian artists to respond creatively to political crisis, collaborated across continents, and continued to use music as a form of dialogue rather than dominance.
In 2018, she received a Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album, followed by a Victoires de la Musique nomination the following year. Yet achievement has never been the centre of her narrative. For Fatoumata, the focus remains on continuity, responsibility, and connection.
