Stacey Morrison: A kupu a day starts reo journey.
Broadcaster Stacey Morrison says her tohu from this year’s Matariki Awards are for all those learning to speak Maori, especially when they are doing it as adults.
Ms Morrison won the Waipunarangi - Te Reo and Tikanga section of the Māori Television-backed awards.
When she was nominated she felt imposter syndrome before realising the importance of people seeing how someone can grow up without te reo Māori and then pick it up later.
She thanks husband Scottie Morrison and their children for helping her with the journey and says it’s something that starts with a few words a day.
