Taūakī Whaiaro
Ko Kakepuku te māunga, Ko Waipa te awa, Ko Maniapoto te iwi, Ko Kinohaku te
hapū, Ko Oparure te marae. My inspiration and drive comes from the support of
my whānau and a drive to provide for their futures. I reconnected with my tūpuna
(ancestors) and whenua (land) through Toi Māori, which continually helps the
Mana Wahine inside me stand strongly and capable to support the ones I mahi
with.
