Kia ora! My name’s Hana and I enjoy wānanga, the deep dive into reflection, deliberation and dialogue about all sorts of things.

Sometimes I can write it, sometimes I can articulate it in video and sometimes a photograph says it all. These are pieces of an attempt at trying to make sense of how I fit into the world — or not.

I pakeke mai au i roto i te reo Māori, te ao Māori me ōna tikanga. I grew up immersed in a Māori worldview, which has contributed to the way I think and what I want to do in this life.

Right now, sharing my thought processes is a good fit. I enjoy it, I connect with people and places I never thought possible, and I enjoy each day — no matter how hōhā, demanding or tedious some tasks are - it’s a good life and I’m grateful to be able to share it with ya.
