I’m so proud of who I am and where I come from. Every chance I can get, I always try to get my Maori thing in there and make known to the world who and what I am. Were really proud people. I’m so blessed to be in such a strong culture. Anything I can be a part of back home (our Maori, our language) I’m all for it, man.
