He uri tenei no ngā iwi Ngāti Porou raua ko Te whānau-a-Apanui, no te whenua moemoea hoki. He kairangahau, kaitiaki o Rongoā Māori, he mama.
Belinda (AKA BindyBee) is a mum, mokopuna of the East coast, and kaitiaki of Maori pūkoro/researcher and rongoā Māori – traditional practitioner of modalities of health and wellbeing. Belinda loves sharing pūrākau through poetry storytelling and has only recently felt confident to share her work, which is an inspired collection of lived experiences and whakapapa learnings. Belinda is forever grateful for her heritage and especially the support of her whānau and friends who ensure her authentic self continues to honour their tupuna and uphold the mana of whānau.
