My why is firstly my daughter Mahina- Bell, she is in the bilingual unit at kura and loves Te Reo, loves Kapa Haka and really connects with who she is, her identity. As a Maori and Pacifica I have seen her confidence grow and give her a good foundation of who she is, I just want to help her build on that alongside her so we can speak openly in our own whare and to others that visit. My second reason is me! I want to speak Te Reo and I have always wanted to but I lack confidence, and I am such a perfectionist but I want to set my Reo Maori Wings free.
