poi made Yesterday, today & tomorrow
Kia ora ko Georgia tōku ingoa,
When Georgia was 12 years old she started her own business making poi with her whānau in the lounge of our whare. She named the business Pōtiki Poi. Pōtiki is the last name of her ancestor Tahu Pōtiki that lead her people to the South Island. And Pōtiki also means, youngest child. Her youngest brother was born with Trisomy 21 and she wants to ensure her business will some day support him and others like him in her community.
Today Georgia inspires and motivates audiences all over the world with her remarkable story, including how she started her business at such a young age and the whakapapa of poi. How she kept it going during Covid and how she went on to be the CEO of the worlds largest poi manufacturing company.
With the shift to virtual events and conferences, Georgia is available both in person and as a virtual keynote speaker.
