Growing up as a fair looking Māori and disconnected from my Māori heritage on my mother's side had a real impact on how I felt within our world and how I saw myself. As a young girl I naturally gravitated to wanting to speak Te Reo and do Kapa Haka. Now a mother myself I am on a journey to reconnect with all things Te ao Māori for my tamariki and my future mokos. Knowing and understanding your own whakapapa is super important to overall wellbeing.
