If you’re wondering what my new avatar on social media is, it’s the one for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori or Māori Language Week.

Most of the public service organisations I’ve worked in recently have gone into his big time, and with me being part of the internal or staff communications teams, I’ve been involved in them. Both Internal Affairs and MBIE have very active and dedicated Māori networks across the organisations and it was always a real pleasure to work with them. Lots of fun activities to make speaking Māori a normal thing in the workplace. As it should be.
