Let’s go, whānau.
The impact of the Tohunga Suppression has been coming through strongly for me over the past weekend. Reflecting on it, I can see how deeply it has affected me as someone who has always been matakite — and how often I was judged, misunderstood, or made to feel unwell for simply being who I am.
So much of this comes from the subliminal conditioning our people have carried through generations as a result of that suppression.
But this is a new time.
It is time to stand in your truth.
It is time to reclaim your mana motuhake.
It is no longer time to hide — it is time to shine.
We are all gifted in our own unique ways.
Let’s rise together.
Arohanui 🤍✨
