New Zealand has numerous women role models. From actual models to mayors, authors to actresses and any field you care to name, Kiwi women are making a name for themselves.
One such is Angela Stone who grew up in Christchurch and has lived most of her adult life in the Garden City.
Fashion stylist, model, author, and health and fitness advocate, Angela has a special place in her heart for Christchurch.
“I love everything about Christchurch – the people, Sumner, the boutiques; it’s a fantastic city,” she says.
Her early years, modelling, at home and abroad, then showcasing on New Zealand television screens in The Real Housewives of Auckland series, raised more than a few challenges.
Life has changed much since her fraught housewives’ days when Angela faced online abuse and criticism of her body shape and size.
Since then she’s used her time to focus on herself, and on finding health and happiness, creating her own nutrition and fitness programme, The Results Plan.
