I am not fluent. I comprehend better than I speak. I get nervous sometimes. But it is part of my identity. Who I am and how others see me. It is my culture. One I feel, know and find strength in. Te reo me ona tikanga - two sides of the same coin. One side is shinier than the other for me. Being one in a million means I'm polishing the side that needs it. Growing in knowledge, connection to my whakapapa and celebrating our uniqueness here in Aotearoa.
