I am part Maori but I look European so have lived a life privileged due to my skin colour. We still lived in the ‘ghetto’ part of town and I grew up with all Maori friends. I became a teacher at our local high school and watched the children of my friends experience a biased and racist school life. I am so passionate about the Reo and Tikanga and want to do all that I can to be part of a positive change for our rangitahi. Part of that means that I need to learn more and every year I learn a little more.
