My journey started when I asked my hubby how is he so grounded in who he is. He replied " I guess it helps knowing that I'm Samoan. I know my people, I know the language and I know where I'm from. Knowing this makes me feel connected".

This inspired me, and my hubby encouraged me to learn my reo, and what I got in return was amazing and filled me with so much aroha and passion for our people and culture.

Now, I want to help bring reo Mâori into our whanau, and normalise it for our future mokopuna.

There's so much to gain and share ❤️
