Te Reo Maori calms my voice, my emotions when speaking.

My favourite whakatauki/kiwaha is Tapuika Turi Paru which explains that Tapuika will always come out on top of any challenge delivered in front of them.

To my moko and my future self, be confident, be resilient, be strategic to always better yourself. Hear every story and absorb it with no prejudice.

Continue speaking our reo Maori so that it never dies. Teach everyone you can our reo and our tikanga to reach as many corners of the earth as possible including our own whenua.
