From sports and music to arts, culture, education, entrepreneurship and other fields of expertise, the podcast gives Gen Z talent an opportunity to share their journey, achievements, challenges and dreams.

There are so many talented young people living in New Zealand whose stories are inspiring, motivating and worth celebrating. Yet, many of these young achievers rarely receive attention because their journeys don’t always make it into mainstream news.

That’s where Gen Z Stars comes in.

Through this podcast, Tarana will connect with young New Zealanders who are doing remarkable things — giving them a platform to tell their own stories, share their experiences and inspire others from their generation.

Hosted by Sonal Sharma, each episode will go beyond the achievements to discover the person behind the talent — their passion, determination, struggles, successes and what motivates them to keep chasing their goals.

Whether they are rising stars in sport, creative artists, performers, young entrepreneurs, academic achievers or simply young people making a positive difference in their communities, Gen Z Stars is about celebrating their voices and showing that extraordinary talent can be found everywhere.

Because every young person has a story — and Tarana wants to help share those stories with New Zealand.

 Gen Z Stars with Sonal Sharma — celebrating the next generation of talent, one inspiring story at a time.
