Growing up I was exposed to little to no Te Reo Māori even though I knew it was important to my mother. Her parents grew up in a time where it was banned, so was unable to pass nearly as much down as they would've wanted. I want to be in a position where I can hold a conversation comfortably, learn Māori culture and customs, and be proud to know that my ancestors can rest easy knowing our culture lives on through me and my children.
