Mihingarangi Forbes MC/Entertainer Profile

Edwina Merito | Maori Outcomes & Relationships

Mihi and Julian co-moderated our recent Summit. The depth and breadth of their respective broadcasting and media experience was on display as they both deftly navigated a broad spectrum of business related topics coupled with an unparalleled understanding of nuances and relatability needed to engage a Maori audience over two-days. They both display total professionalism and credibility. We were very proud to have them associated with our organisation.

Mihingarangi is very articulate and radiates confidence, charisma and humour. She has an innate ability to engage the audience with her ad-lib skills enhanced by her fluency in Te Reo which is a true testament of her character. She has the ability to put people at ease that ultimately creates a great atmosphere.

Mihingarangi Forbes, alongside her friend and colleague Annabelle Lee, were sensational guest speakers at the Wintec Press Club lunch extravaganza in Hamilton. They held the VIP invite-only audience captivated, and received the loudest and longest ovation I have experienced since I began staging these events in 2010. As president of the Press Club, I invite guest speakers to three lunch events during the year. The list has included Sir Paul Holmes, actress Robyn Malcolm, Patrick Gower, Duncan Garner, Michael Laws, criminal lawyer Greg King, Pam Corkery, Te Radar and Paula Penfold. Some have not been total successes. Some have raved on about themselves, and delivered formless, boring speeches. Mihi was absolutely superb. Venetia Sherson, the ex-editor of the Waikato Times, and who created the Press Club in 2005, said Mihi was the best speaker she had ever seen and rated her 11 out of 10.
