Hello, I was told the article needs reliable, independent sources and needs to be shown to pass general notability guideline. I would encourage you to look through every reference - they are all significant mentions from different activities over years and almost all of them are from New Zealand's well-regarded outlets such as Newshub, Stuff.co.nz, New Zealand Herald, 1 News, NewstalkZB. She is widely covered by many independent and reliable sources. The writing style of this article is rough but I believe she definitely passes WP:GNG.

Though coverage matters more for WP:GNG, her achievements involve founding a charity which caused her to get invited to speak at Buckingham Palace and the United Nations, being commended by Queen Elizabeth II, a viral video of 80 million views, being the youngest person ever to win the Doc Edge Doco Pitch, being able to privately see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when they visited New Zealand, a documentary on her life, a best-selling autobiography, being part of the government's $30,000 budget to pay influencers to encourage people to take up vocational training, a documentary on her friend which won gold in a New York film festival, and being awarded 2021 Young New Zealander of the Year by the Prime Minister. All of this has been covered by reliable and independent sources, which I believe alone makes her noteworthy, but from her interviews from winning Young New Zealander of the Year, it is clear she plans on continuing so will very likely continue to be covered.

She is a lesbian, this needs to be included in the article as well along with the appropriate LGBQT tag.
