My why is to have a better connection to my whanau and whenua. To feel closer to my tipuna. To bridge the gap that was created in the 1930s - 1960s when Māori was not spoken and a whole generation missed out (my parents generation) and therefore we missed out too. This is my own personal journey of re-connection and understanding and gaining the confidence to speak and understand te reo. Also to be able to support my own tamariki on their journey's when they are ready.
