Award winning broadcaster Mike McRoberts has just released, Speaking My Language,  his book detailing his path towards full immersion in Te Reo Maori in 2023.  Before then he writes "I felt the intense whakama of not being able to speak te reo" and "an emptiness born of a disconnect from my Maoritanga."
