Today’s inspiration comes from Graham Hingangaroa Smith, a respected Māori scholar and educational leader from New Zealand. A champion for Māori rights and cultural education, Smith has dedicated his life to fostering resilience, growth, and self-determination within Indigenous communities. His teachings emphasize the value of struggle as a pathway to self-discovery and empowerment. Rather than avoiding hardship, he encourages us to view challenges as opportunities to strengthen our understanding of our own beliefs and values. In this Indigenous Peoples' Culture Month, Smith’s insight reminds us that struggle can be a powerful teacher, guiding us towards greater resilience and clarity of purpose.
