Hello friends, I know I have been out of touch. I don’t know how to talk about what’s going on… I am not sure there are words. I am just completely in it. My only option right now is to be fully present for what life has presented.  I’ve been through many things, but nothing comes close to this. 

That being said, I cannot emphasize enough how much my people have kept me sane and given me the continued strength to show up fully for my Momma. 

Thank you all for being there in the many ways you have. It brings me to tears to even think about. Thank you for encouraging me (sometimes forcing me) to get out. For the texts, the food, the laughs… for getting me to smile and allowing me to cry. You guys remind me of who I am and that my family and I are not alone. More soon, for now… GRATITUDE ♥️

My first 24 hours at #CreatingChange was marked by a “Circle of Friendships” (Round Dance)

A social and ceremonial dance within our native sibling communities to symbolize community, healing, and unity. Each drum beat reminding us of our capacity to beat as one.

When I zoom out, that’s the best way I can describe what the first day felt like. 

From landing at DCA, to sharing a Lyft with @rayzhon to the conference, escorted by @jaron.goto to check in and landing into the Pasifika Caucus to the round dance with the Two Spirit & Native LGBTQ+ Center for Equality.

At each turn and each twist of a moment, from one hand to another in a revolving exchange of care.

Holding hope in their hearts and offering it freely.

They’re the ones who believe in liberation, in softness, in joyand in justice.

Their Alofa is a reminder that community is medicine, and that Alofa is still the loudest thing in the room 💛
