ABOUT ME
A life built from the fearing God of a nation, community and family.I was born in Tonga, raised by love, shortcoming, community and gift of natures weaved with diversity of traditions and culture values. Life humble me early through the parents and siblings who chose love for God over any treasures in life, even in the days of trouble.My journey brought me to San Francisco in the search of acceptance of who I am as a trans woman with the hope in providing finances to my family. This is where I found part of my voice as a storyteller and the call for the service to others who are wondering and overlooked.Through voyager in the unknown, I approached more about myself which encourage myself to speak in the same honesty’s voice and create a platform structure designed for the “HOME” in a world that thinks it already full. I believe that in this life, ”We are all gonna make it through”, ”Every story matters-even the ones we were told to hide" and ”Life is enough and enough to share”.I am a child of my mother and father, a brother and a sister to my siblings and so I am to you.____________________________
