Well-known journalist and presenter Mike McRoberts opens up about his experiences of reconnection to te ao Maori and learning te reo, and encourages others to do the same. For much of his life, Mike McRoberts felt burdened by not knowing his own language - te reo Maori. Growing up at a time when te reo was scarcely spoken in daily conversations, and within a mixed-race family with little connection to Maoritanga, 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 Korero i Toku Reo Mike shares his story of that journey to speak te reo Maori and reclaim his identity. His book is an invitation for all New Zealanders to take the first step to understand why speaking our Maori language and treasuring our culture matters.
