Tēnā tātou kātahi anō au ka kite te karere mai i a Muscle Mike where am i now, i am currently sitting in maternity waiting on my mokopuna tuarua to arrive so grateful for us women and how we carve our future generation from kakano to hua and we keep carving them through all the emotions of life right up until this very moment this is where i am at with my oldest daughter carving her ara to be safe and trust in herswlf to bring mokopuna i te wheiao on another note i thought i might buy a home wow what a journeys its been so far its definitely a struggle i have not quite got my home but i keep going the vision is there i also changed my employment this year because i was not happy in what i was surrounded by. How did it come to that because my first mokopuna was born lastyear i decided i wanted to be a present nan so i didnt do the one thing i love the most perform for Tauira Mai Tawhiti in mataatua this year and what a ride it has been opportunities were endless and connections were made because i was free to do what weekends allow us to do but end with watching my four oldest kids perform for whakatohea was the best result while being a nan i maybe be rambling but i will leave this here

Do you really think merit alone gets you through? Or have you seen how it actually works? That’s the gap. Results matter. But power decides. If you don’t understand the game… you don’t move. What moves are you making this week?

Who is saying your name in rooms you’re not in? Be honest. That’s the gap. Working hard quietly doesn’t build backing. Silence doesn’t travel. You need someone in your corner. If it’s no one… say that too
