🌻My full name is Coco Colletta Sanspeur Waitai. Colletta was the name of my maternal German Great grandmother, and Sanspeur is my Maori Great Grandmother Maiangi’s middle name. It means without fear. It comes from the Sutherland clan coat of arms.❤️
🌻I am Samoan Tongan on my father’s side and German Māori on Mum’s❤️
🌻I have my Nana, Grandad, Aunty Sonja & cousin Nova, and a huge extended whānau of course… plus two beautiful siblings Sione and Lucie-LoLo (and their Mum Charlotte), a step Dad I like to call Basti and a big sister India all of whom I absolutely love and adore ❤️
🌻I’m also lucky to have a whole extra family of Mum’s dear friends who are all like Aunts & Uncles to me ❤️

Shiny Sticker interest!
I have been noticing these stickers around the streets of Wellington since 2019 and documenting them… I’m really curious to know what the language is and what they mean if anyone out there knows?!
