Started frequently seeing her due to work in 2025, then I fell in love with it. Traveling is exciting, it gives me tranquility, it became my new form of self love, therapy and my way to connect with people and the world at an even larger scale. Traveling started as a form of transportation but it is now my way of having peace simultaneously while serving and spreading love to people. From sitting next to someone on the plane, to meeting new people or experiencing new cultures at my destination, to even interviewing someone I admire. I’m a student to the globe because wherever I go and whatever I experience, I gain knowledge. Who knows, you might be my next conversation. ✈️🌎 #Travel #SelfCare #Connect #Conversations #Traveling

Samoan + Queer ‘til the death of me 😤🥰🌺🌈 As a child of Samoa, I’m no less Samoan nor have I failed at being Samoan because I am too feminine as a male, outspoken, nonreligious, gender nonconforming, sexually open, refuse to sweep things under the proverbial rug or unwilling to protect men’s comfort. As a queer person, I reject the white, Western queer culture that often expects me to abandon my people, family obligations, or language and history as if queerness exists outside of race, class, family, patriarchy and power dynamics. It’s a both/and. I’m a drop in the ocean and the entire ocean in a drop. I hold individualist and collectivist values. I’m American and an indigenous Samoan. I’ve been harmed and caused harm. I’m my father’s son and my mother’s daughter. I’m Samoan and queer. Til the death of me. - Reflections by me Voice marked safe from Kehlani’s LA concert. “I can feel again, won’t be numb again I can feel again, won’t be dumb again” My good sis Jess and I were feeling ourselves at Kehlani’s concert. Thank you for going with me @malosismama ily 😘 The BEST surprise at Kehlani’s concert: Seeing Full Moon by the Vocal Bible live for the first time ever was not on our 2026 Bingo Card but what an absolute highlight!!!

Live, laugh, Camp Nuanua ❤️‍🔥💫 Thank you to everyone who made our 4th Annual a beautiful success. This program continues to grow as our community does and we are so grateful for every camper who showed up as their whole selves, shared their love and mana and strengthened relationships between one another. How beautiful it is that we have an annual Camp for Queer & Trans Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islanders, we built this together! Flowers to those who took the lead and made camp a success, Gemini, Joe, Suki, Rena & Saiah, & Saiah’s kickass family who held it down with the kitchen, activities and keeping the good vibes rolling! My fav way to wrap up summer. ❤️‍🔥🫂
