Ko Ngongotahā tōku Maunga
Ko Kaituna tōku awa

Ko Te Arawa tōku Iwi
Ko Ngāti Pikiao tōku hapū
Ko Waiatuhi tōku Marae
I whānau mai au ki Ōtautahi engari I tipu ake au ki Waihōpai
Ko Hemi tōku whānau ingoa
Ko Aroha Solomon ahau

Joining Mīharo, I bring with me over 25 years of experience in building meaningful connections across diverse cultural communities. My journey is deeply personal, supported by my husband and enriched by my role as a mother to six incredible children, all of whom have proudly participated on the Polyfest stage, embodying the spirit and traditions of our Māori heritage through their performances.

Our home is a vibrant canvas of Māori artistic traditions, from the delicate intricacies of flax weaving to the profound stories told through Whakairo carving. This environment has not only nurtured their talents but has also been my greatest source of inspiration in advocating for cultural inclusivity and understanding.

Mīharo is whānau - a place of belonging, safety, growth, and endless opportunities to connect and thrive. This is more than a role; it’s a continuation of my life’s work and passion, and I feel privileged to contribute and to further bridge cultures, celebrating the diversity that unites us.
