Kia Ngākau Māhaki — My Journey With Mental Health, Balance, and Kindness

Mental health is one of those things I wish we spoke about more openly when I was younger. If I could sit down with my younger self and have a cup of tea, this is what I’d tell her.

“My culture and identity are the sound tūāpapa of who I am…These foundations have always been there - I just needed to gently be reminded to return to them.”

KIA NGĀWARI ZIP UP – Mana Ako

BTS and all things Kia Ngāwari - Mana Ako Zip.

This hybrid piece symbolises the full spectrum of kindness: to protect, to grow, and to rise with courage. It’s a visual kōrero of learning, strength, and love - a wearable reminder of your journey and your impact.

Wear it when… you want to carry the legacy of kindness forward, with every step stitched in meaning.
