Kirby Sefo is the founder and creator for all of our ALK Learning products. Her inspiration and guiding light to building a start-up
business on the side of motherhood and full-time mahi came from her blended
family and recent journey of navigating life through motherhood.

Kirby believes that education should be at the core of all young people’s growth, development, and opportunity. However, she also believes that the knowledge surrounding culture, community and generational practice far exceeds the walls of any classroom and is a multi-faceted resource that can be
provided by so many shared vessels if we allow it.

ALK Learning products currently serve four cultures; Māori, Cook Island, Samoan and Tongan. This stems from their blended family and one day Kirby would love to be able to work within other cultures and communities to grow the ALK Learning offerings.

“Being Māori and Samoan, a female founder, working full-time in and amongst university and above all being a māmā first – I hope to shed light and give visibility to all wahine in particular those from indigenous backgrounds. Understand that their innate potential in nurturing and knowing their own capabilities
are beyond measure if we allow them to be.
