I love mahi toi and hangarau is a passion of mine. I have been raised in Kōhanga Reo and Kura Kaupapa Māori, so from a very young age I have been taught the ways of my tūpuna. My most recent explorations in mahi toi have led me to start my own business, Pōtiki Poi. What started as a simple idea at home with my whanau, has transformed into a workshop that employs staff with diverse abilities, promotes te ao Māori & is eco-friendly. “Mai I te kōpae kit e urupa, tatou ako tonu ai!”
