Ko Maungakiekie te maunga. He tauiwi ahau; ko Nawaivuvu o Macuata te iwi. Ko Wasasala te whānau. No Aotearoa me te Whītī au. Kei Tāmaki Makakurau taku kainga. Ko Kitty taku ingoa. He kaituhituhi takiwātanga au. I live and work on the unceded whenua ō Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei ki Tāmaki Makaurau. I’m an artist, florist, writer and performer, and I work in media accessibility.
