Miriama (Ngāti Rakaipaaka, Ngāti Pahauwera, Ngāti Kahungunu) recently returned to the home fires of Aotearoa / New Zealand for the comedy duet of decolonisation and motherhood.
Miriama is a secondary teacher who is also studying immersion reo at Te Whare Wānanga o Raukawa. When she is not practising her reo, Miriama can be found drawing rainbows in street chalk with her toddler. She first discovered Awa Wahine through attending the Wāhine Who Write workshop in March 2019.
“It's a space to embrace wahine Māori without having to fight for a space, let alone censor ourselves to fit in. Where I can be Māori without representing Māori.”
