"E koekoe te tui, e ketekete te kaka, e kuku te kereru" ... Stories of all forms come from different times, places and emotional spaces. They shape our lives because they are born from our experiences and our understanding of the world around us.

SRW was an initiative I began in 2021 which initially began with tshirts and then eventually into a publication in 2023. The idea behind SRW is all about self-empowerment - to encourage wahine to stand in their own mana and self-worth.

The SRW pub was a creative journey I wanted to explore and bring to life, and my gratitude goes out to those lovely wahine who were willing to help me achieve that - Ngā mihi nui to Robyn Kahukiwa, Dayle Takitimu, Janette Hoppe, Sharn Maree, Trinity Thompson-Browne, Anna Reeves, Collette Hutchby, Davi Henare-Kuru, Sharon Hughes, Edith Rolls, Leah Waipuka-Bain, Jessica Gerbic, Wikitoria Kauti-King, and Jasmine Brown.
