My mum was never able to learn her mother tongue of te reo Māori but she always shared with us the beauty and strength of our culture while raising us. It's always been a goal of mine to learn our language so that I can connect more with my whakapapa and I've finally started this year. Not only am I connecting more with my ancestry, I'm able to show love and gratitude for my mum and what she taught me by teaching her what I'm learning about the language.
