Ko Maungatapu ko Parapara ko Taranaki oku maunga.

Ko Maitahi ko Parapara oku awa.

Ko Kurahaupo ko Tokumaru oku waka.

Ko Te Atiawa ko Ngati Tama ko Taranaki oku iwi.

Ko Kaitangata ko Ngati Haupoto oku hapu.

Ko Whakatu ko Onetahua oku marae.

Ko Whakatu toku kainga ināianei.

Ko Aramoana du Feu toku ingoa.

For my #ReoMāori moment, I sang a waiata by Hollie Smith, Korukutia.

Then whakarongo (listened) to the new Lorde album, Te Ao Marama.

Ive grown up māori, but am only now in life, embracing my full identity.

Embrancing te reo māori and starting my language journey, as well as embarking on the waka of Te Ao Māori.

Learning the art of using and making Taonga Puoro is kai for my wairua!

Kia Kaha Te Reo Māori!
