Strangers call me Whaea/Aunty as a sign of respect. It’s an honorific.

They are not lying. #uspol

Bringing the big WHAEA energy to fan the flames of others #BeingMāori
Kim, a petite, tattooed, middle-aged Māori wāhine, is standing in her office smiling and wearing glasses. She is dressed in a black sweater with the word 'WHAEA' in yellow and red flame-like letters, with 'MOTHER WHAKA' written below in red. Her outfit includes a black scarf with white polka dots, large heart-shaped earrings, a red watch, and a black and red checkered skirt. 'Whaea' means aunty in te reo Māori. The background shows part of an office with a framed picture on the wall and an open door.

Welling up here, remembering whaea Marama doing this with junior cans when he was a pēpi.

Waking up to this video at Waitangi just filled me with a copious amount of hope.

It is so so good to see a compassionate leader return to Parliament. I have missed Marama so much 💚 #nzpol #maori

The last time I spoke about violent misogyny against women in public life, some of the audience (human rights folks) sang Ka Waiata ki a Maria as waiata tautoko. I’m humming it tonight for Whaea Deb & all the other women who are expected to face unbearable misogyny for doing their jobs.
