This one is special 🌺

Isabella Satui 🎂

Have known this girl at a very young age and followed her on her journey with footy and life. She has grown into this beautiful bubbly and outgoing young woman 🇼🇸🇹🇴. Bella is half Samoan and Half Tongan. On the night she represented both her sides and it was nice to see her embracing both culture. Malō Aupito 🇹🇴

For 2 months we worked on choreography for her taualuga and shared a few work stories 🤔 and it was there I wanted to make this a special one.

Congratulations @bellasatui_ on reaching this beautiful milestone in your life. Praying for Gods favour on you as you begin this new chapter in your life.

Here's a little clip of her preparation leading up to the day. Thank you to her parents John and Flo for trusting me with your beautiful Bella's siva Samoa and her Samoan attire 🇼🇸.

Viia le Atua 🙏

O lea e lē toe to‘alua ai, a o le tino e tasi i lā‘ua; o lenei, o ē ‘ua fa‘atasia e le Atua, ‘aua ne‘i fa‘ate‘a‘eseina e se tagata.

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.

Congratulations to the newly wedded couple Mr and Mrs Papalaua-Pati 💍💑

A few moments from last Friday’s ʻava ceremony at the @toaoleafi Pati Levasa International Fire Knife Competition 2026.

Fa’afetai tele lava for inviting Le Fale Aganuʻu to lead the 'ava ceremony. It was an honour to be part of the occasion. Thank you for giving our students the opportunity to participate in our sacred traditional customs. An incredible experience for our students who are on their journey to connect to their identity and culture.

To our students, thank you for stepping forward and embracing your roles so purposefully and with so much alofa. For some this would have been the first time, and we are beyond proud of you all.

To our brothers from @tamalaei thank you for answering our call and being there with us — we’re grateful for your support. Fa'afetai, fa'afetai tele lava.

Here is a glimpse of the ceremony and morning in photos. We’ll share more of the experience in a reel soon 🇼🇸🇦🇸

Le Fale Aganu’u ‘Ava Ceremony for Toa ole Afi Fire Knife Competition 2026 🇼🇸

When it comes to dressing a Taupou, it is something I never take lightly. Every piece has meaning, every detail matters, and there is so much beauty and responsibility that comes with preparing her.

But this time was different. For the first time, I had the honour of dressing my own daughter. 🥹❤️

From her ie sina to her lauulu fau to every little detail that completed her tēuga, this moment was so special to me as her Mum. I’ve had the privilege of dressing many beautiful young women over the years, but there was something completely different about standing back and looking at my own daughter dressed as a Taupou.

Thank you to everyone who helped with her costume and dressing her on the day.

A moment I will forever hold close to my heart. ❤️

My beautiful girl, carrying herself with grace and representing our culture so beautifully.

Fa’afetai Le Fale Aganu’u for allowing our children these opportunities to learn, embrace and carry our aganu’u forward. 🇼🇸❤️ by @peles_teuga

🔥 DAY TWO – TOA O LE AFI | INTERNATIONAL FIRE KNIFE COMPETITION 🔥

What an incredible finals night! ❤️‍🔥

A huge congratulations to all competitors. You should be incredibly proud of your performance and the way you continue to showcase the art, strength, passion and culture behind Siva Afi. 🔥🌺

Thank you to @toaoleafi for allowing Malaga Fa’atasi the opportunity to close out the event and share our Samoan culture through pese and siva.

It was an absolute honour to be part of such an incredible celebration of Pacific culture. We were excited to have met the first fire knife champion in 1993 @chiefsielu and @mikaele_oloa the multiple- time world fire knife champion. 🤝

A beautiful handcrafted tuiga piece created especially for a 21st celebration over the weekend.

There’s something so meaningful about creating pieces that carry our culture and traditions into these special moments. Although I wasn’t able to use this piece for the occasion, it was still such a privilege to create something that represents our culture, identity and sense of belonging.

Every piece has meaning, and this one will be ready for its special moment when the time comes. 🌺❤️

Congratulations, Jayden, on reaching this beautiful milestone! 🎉 Thank you for trusting me with your tēuga for your special celebration over the weekend. It was an absolute privilege to be a small part of such a memorable occasion.

Wishing you many blessings as you step into this next chapter of your journey.

Showcase 2026 : Journey Home 🇼🇸 @malaga_faatasi

When our Stage Manager @dom_nimo approached me about creating costumes and sent through some inspiration photos of his vision, I knew straight away this was going to be a special project.

I won’t lie — it was definitely a challenging task. Bringing someone else’s vision to life takes patience, creativity, and many hours behind the scenes. But I believed in the vision, and I knew that with time, dedication, and a lot of love, it would all come together.

Seeing it come to life on stage during our Journey Home Showcase was such a proud moment. A reminder that every stitch, every detail, and every late night was worth it.

Dom, you truly have a gift. Your creative mind, your passion, and your ability to bring ideas to life are such a blessing to our Malaga Fa’atasi team. We are so grateful for the talent and heart you bring to this journey.

My ancestors called me HOME 🇼🇸

➡️Respect the Land
➡️Protect the Ocean
➡️Honour the Sky

Fa’afetai Dom for trusting me with your vision and allowing me to be part of bringing it to life.

If you’ve ever had to learn your own culture as an adult, you already know what this feels like.

The YouTube learning, the late night dance classes, steps you should have grown up knowing, the late 30s start nobody warns you about.

My daughter is learning the same dance right now. The difference is, she’s learning it as a kid, surrounded by her own people, not alone in your home office at 38 trying to catch up.

That gap between us is the whole reason I’m doing this. She’s already getting what I had to go looking for.
