Tū Kotahi, Kōkiri Tahi

Stand in unity, move forward as one

Being a business owner is tough and it’s easy to feel like all things Māori are under attack right now. Let’s flip the negativity and stand with our Māori business owners and remind them that we love their mahi, and celebrate their journey and achievements.
