Some people often ask me if I'm half Māori or half Pasifika, and I'm always like, "Nah, bro. I'm not half anything; I'm whole." And I don't think anyone is half anything—if anything, I'm double. If I was a beer, I would be Double Brown. If I was a flavour down at the dairy, I'd be Twice as Nice, but at only half the price. I am two peas in the cultural pod. Growing up Māori and Pasifika means growing up biculturally and having neither of those as the dominant culture, which meant I had to go to school to learn about Pākehā, and to be honest, I'm still learning about you people.
