  • Social change happens through tiny, everyday actions of acceptance and love.
    Kat is a gay woman, adopted by a New Zealand family from Russia when she was three, who has experienced the confusion, fear and depression of LGBTQ youth on her path to finding acceptance.
    Kat now works fearlessly on behalf of the LGBTQ community where she has two Youth Week awards and is a Local Hero New Zealander of the Year.

    Adopted from Russia as a young child and overcoming adversity as a teenager, Katerina (Kat) Clark was motivated to make a difference for other young people in the Bay of Plenty.
    Kat established Tauranga Pryde and continues to provide ongoing support as a student advocate at the University of Waikato.
    In recognition of Kat’s work on behalf of the LGBTQ community she was presented with two Youth Week awards and is a Local Hero New Zealander of the Year. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Kat, I was a mum from the soccer team you coached at that christian school. You shone then - as you still do. You lead those kids in the way you lead now and we are all better people for knowing you. Thank you for being you.
