About

After becoming New Zealand’s youngest prime minister in 150 years, Jacinda Ardern continued to challenge the norm by giving birth while in office, resigning from her position after six years and reshaping what global leadership looks like.    

Her determination to prioritise humanity became a defining quality of her public life. In her deeply personal and internationally bestselling memoir, A Different Kind of Power, Jacinda tells her story – from her Mormon roots to her time as prime minister.    

Join Jacinda as she shares her convictions and compassion as a woman, former head of state and mother, in conversation with Holly Wainwright.

 

“I still believe that when faced with a choice between hatred and hope, you must choose hope every time.”

— Jacinda Ardern
