I used to worry that I would be forgotten. It was irrational, when a simple online search will lead you to much of my life's work. But whakapapa is everything. Because of the gendered violence and abuse that far too many of us suffer as children and young people in this country, I could not have children of my own. So I collect them. To well over 100 nieces, nephews, and greats, especially those who have lived with us, I hope you all feel how much the Aunties love you. To all the young people I have been privileged to work with and mentor in Māori, takatāpui, and rainbow communities, you are never just the leaders of tomorrow; you are the leaders we need right now. Many of you I call my kids, and you know who you are, because I expect more of you than anyone else. I need your counsel now more than ever. So to all of the rangatahi here and watching, you are my heart. You are my legacy.
