Eleonora - Wellington

When I moved to Aotearoa pakeha culture felt foreign to me, and intuitive as it asked me to leave my culture at the door and embrace more traditional British values in order to be accepted. Māori culture welcomed we with my whole baggage, celebrating my tikanga e whakapapa. Diversity enriches us all. Moving Aotearoa toward being a real bicultural country will enrich us all.
