Ani-Piki Tuari has a huge role. She's not just teaching a class te reo Māori -
she's teaching the entire country.
Tuari, who was head girl at St Joseph's Māori Girl's College 14 years ago, is presenting the new lockdown Māori-language kids' show Mauri Reo, Mauri Ora.
The television show is a teaching resource and learning device for children from preschool, primary school and high school.
Tuari is a film and television director, music producer, te reo Māori consultant and teacher, translator, actress and writer, and has a strong interest in Māori theatre, music and television.
It's this focus on te reo Māori in all areas of her career, and her work in revitalising the language and customs, that she believes has helped her gain this role.
