Tūwhitia te hopo, mairangitia te angitū

Feel the fear and do it anyway!

"I knew 'Kia ora' and I knew how to hongi, and that's it. It was a constant feeling of unworthiness and shame that it wasn't coming to me naturally. I also felt deep embarrassment from being told that I am from both Te Arawa and Ngāi Tūhoe and I should know my reo. These are the things that I wanted to remove and make sure that no one who comes to me to learn te reo Māori ever has to feel or experience."
