Karen Leef
He uri ahau no Te Rarawa, Ngāti Manawa, Ngā puhi, me Tau'tu Aitutaki. Born and Raised in Glen Innes, East Auckland. I am a Māmā and a weaver of words and worlds, following the path laid out by my tūpuna in service of my uri. I exist to serve our Indigenous whaanau to amplify and celebrate their voices and stories. After years of weaving my words in private, I am now weaving my words into te ao. Tihei mauri ora.
