"My earliest memory is of being blessed by my great-grandmother, with my mother and grandmother there. We were in Northland, so we were home, and the feeling I get from this memory is just really being loved and surrounded by the love and strength of these women." For Tracey Perkins (Ngāpuhi, Raukawa), cultural identity has been a lifelong journey. There is so much loss behind stories of reconnection, but for her family, getting through the tough years has landed them in the best days of their lives so far. Now, she and her fiancé, Jonny are focused on raising their children to know who they are and where they come from. Read Tracey's full story in our latest edition, out now. Head to our website to order your copy. Writer: As Told To Arpége Taratoa (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Ruakawa, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Rārua) Photographer: Nancy Zhoh

I tell stories about brands, people, and places. Samples here + more in my digital profile upon request. Essays + humor on motherhood/womanhood/Appalachia/culture on my Facebook author page, linked below.
It's time to pivot. I want less content writing and more storytelling about people/places/things. Where do I find clients who need scripts, narratives, bios, or creative-writing anything? #writer #creative #storytelling #filmproduction #tvproduction #magazines #advertising

Just let them. If they want to choose something or someone over you, let them. If they want to go weeks without talking to you, let them. If they are okay with never seeing you, let them. If they are always putting themselves first, let them. If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceive them to be, let them. If they want to follow the crowd, let them. If they want to judge or misunderstand you, let them. If they act like they can live without you, let them. If they want to walk out of your life and leave, hold the door open. And if they lose you, you were never theirs because you were always your own. So let them show you who they truly are, not tell you. Let them prove how worthy they are of your time. Let them make the necessary steps to be a part of your life. Let them earn your forgiveness. Let them call you to talk about ordinary things. Let them take you out on a Thursday. Let them talk about anything and everything just because it’s you they are talking to. Let them have a safe place in you. Let them see the heart in you that didn’t harden. Let them love you. #fitness #photography #instagood #art #love #beautiful #quotes #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #positivequotes #micropoetry #lovepoems #poetryofig #igpoets #writingcommunity #instapoets #poetsofinstagram #poetssociety #creativewriting #lovequotes #motivationalquotes #poetrycommunity #poems #poetsofig #explore #explorefeed #writerscommunity #poetry #writersofinstagram
