I immigrated to Aotearoa (from Canada) in 2003 however, as my partner and tamariki whakapapa to Ngāti Rongomaiwaihine, I want to celebrate and grow te reo Māori and tikanga in our whare. Since completing tuara 1 & 2 with Te Ataarangi, I am proud to kōrero with my whānau in te reo as well as confidently sing along to waiata, recite karakia and my pepeha.
