Growing up , Māori unfortunately was not used often , as a Māmā of three I would love my own children to enjoy our culture and be able to speak in their language and continue to enjoy learning about it I also want to use my mahi platform ooh Lala styling to showcase our culture , it’s the little details that help others feel encouraged to try learn about our culture and being someone that is still learning more myself it’s awesome to be able to learn from others that I meet , small things like responding to emails I like to greet everyone in Māori it’s very nice when others feel comfortable using Te Reo when utilising our services , I love being able to creatively express myself and hope that through my mahi I will be able to incorporate more and more of our culture 🤎
