Teniqua Jones

Her mahi is grounded in kaupapa Māori and driven by the desire to create something meaningful for her people.
Recently returning from her nanny Te Aokauirangi’s tangihanga at Hauiti Marae in Tolaga Bay—where she prepared and delivered 200 cupcakes—Teniqua’s dedication to service and community shines through in all that she does. These moments reaffirm her purpose: supporting whānau, celebrating milestones, and showing up for her people when it matters most.
As an emerging Ngati Porou business owner, Teniqua values being part of a collective that uplifts Māori enterprise.
