Sobre este áudio

Well-known journalist and presenter Mike McRoberts opens up about his experiences of reconnection to te ao Māori and learning te reo, and encourages others to do the same.

'Mike has bravely given voice to the inner conflicts and deep-seated longing many of us feel as we seek the power of reclaiming our language. Where we may have seen him as polished and unflappable, this intimate, vulnerable journey shows another side and will leave you inspired.'—Stacey Morrison

'Ko te kai a te rangatira, he kōrero—discourse is the domain of chiefs; here Mike reveals the destiny that awaited him, because he sought the sustenance our language brings. He kōrero rangatira!'—Scotty Morrison

For much of his life, Mike McRoberts felt burdened by not knowing his own language—te reo Māori. Growing up at a time when te reo was scarcely spoken in daily conversations, and within a mixed-race family with little connection to Māoritanga, his experience mirrored that of many other New Zealanders of his generation.

In later years, as a journalist and presenter of Newshub's six o'clock news, his confident television persona masked the anxiety he felt greeting viewers with the simple phrase, 'Kia ora, good evening'. Not being comfortable speaking his language was a source of shame—a shame that ironically kept him from starting his te reo journey sooner.

In Speaking My Language / Te Kōrero i Tōku Reo Mike shares his story of that journey to speak te reo Māori and reclaim his identity. His book is an invitation for all New Zealanders to take the first step to understand why speaking our Māori language and treasuring our culture matters.
