Feeling nervously excited about pulling together 16 artists to take to the Akld Townhall stage on Sun Mar 8. It’s been a while so pulling out all the stops. ‘Bigger than a breadbox’ as my mum would say. Shout out to Auckland Arts Festival & Te Taura Whiri. #manawahine #toitutereo
Dr Jane Kelsey #ManaWahine #RSB #SelectCommittee totally agree with her that it's all a farcical parody of the whole legislative process from the bill to the min speaking time at select committee stage. This is the demolition of our democracy by the 8%er.
30+ yrs wait for this to begin #ManaWahine Inquiry. "Māori creation stories & tikanga once upheld the mana of wāhine Māori, recognising them as leaders" Then colonisation & Pakeha writers introduced patriarchal & hierarchical thinking that reshaped Māori worldviews www.teaonews.co.nz/2025/06/03/c...

He knows how hard Māmā has been working these past few weeks so he checks in for cuddle breaks, and we have cuddle - kia i te ata and i te pō. And whenever I get tired and frustrated and just want to go be a normal person and take my nights and weekends back, I remember the day a few months ago when he asked me why the government hates Māori. It broke my heart to think that my son is growing up in a political environment that makes him feel hated, attacked, and scared. My baby was educated fully in Te Reo Māori from day dot. The Regulatory Standards Bill threatens the rights guaranteed under Te Tiriti for the generations after him to do that. And it threatens my baby. Nobody does that. I will not rest until this piece of slime Bill is ripped into pieces the same way the Treaty Principles Bill was. You will not take my son's reo. You will not take his safety. And you sure as hell will not take his tino rangatiratanga 😤😤😤🪓🪓🪓🖤♥️🤍 PS: I'm sorry that my Mother's day post isn't all rainbows and unicorns, I'm just not that kinda Māmā 🐦🔥💅😎"

Writing about my great grandmother today. A weaver, a knowledge holder, a matriarch, a māngai but always from the back or the sidelines.
