Super love what this beautiful lady is doing. As a Samoan teenager living in a country which uses the English language to communicate everyday, what this woman is doing is very encouraging and very helpful. ❤️

This spoke volumes to me; struggling to identify and feel welcomed as afakasi. I wanted to learn my culture and language but was often mocked to the point of giving up. As an adult, I want nothing more to learn so I can teach my children.

Sorry woman you are descendant of Tofae Siolo but not Tofaeono. I am truly a descendant of Tofaeono Taulima the 1st. The tittle Tofae was given for the tautua of your grandfather not Tofaeono Your uncle Tanuvasa changed it. Sorry but that's the truth.

What are you doing to promote your culture. OK to say you have a crown, shine it, wear it and brag about it. But what are, you doing to represent it to the best, serve and help your people. Join with her, us palangi don't beet to see you squabbling like think about whose better than who, whose less than who.
