Cultures of Change: Healing Our Identity

Welcome to the Cultures of Change Podcast where we are having conversations about 'Healing Our Identity'. We bring you the strategies and conscious thinking for you to grow your confidence and understand your abilities to create the future that you choose.For much of my life I carried the feeling that I wasn't Māori enough, growing up in Australia disconnected from my country and being immersed in my culture… that was until I realised everything I was yearning for was within me. My ancestors are a long line of proud Māori, my mana is strong and I am enough. Hi, I'm Erica McCreedy, a proud Ngati Raukawa and Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti woman living on Yugambeh land. I'm a cross-cultural communication consultant and have worked with hundreds of First Nations people globally. I'm the co-founder of Cultures of Change and I'm passionate about supporting Indigenous women to find their inner wisdom. These conversations draw on the power and knowledge of the strong women who have walked before us, the strong women to come, and those that walk alongside us.

Tena koutou, nau mai, haere mai ki tenei waahanga o te korero 'whakaaora i to tatou tuakiri' pepetema te marama Reo Māori. Welcome everybody to this episode of the Healing Our Identity podcast, because September is Māori language month, I am sharing with you my Te Reo Māori what it means to me to speak my language and to speak although I am not fluent. This is about speaking, because I can, because I choose too and because I don't need to wait until it feels perfect for me to do so, I invite you to join me in this special episode. As I dive into Te Reo Māori what it means to me and how it connects with my cultural identity.
