It’s been a week celebrating our beautiful Samoan Language Week 🇼🇸
This year’s theme: E afua mai i mauga tetele manuia o le nu’u, which translates to: From the high mountains are the blessings of the village
It’s a reminder that that no achievement is ours alone. Behind every performance, every story and every opportunity is a village that has guided, supported and believed in us. It’s also a reminder that our village are found in those that walk alongside us, our friends, our families, our ancestors, our communities and each other.
Fa’afetai tele i le tatou nu’u - thankyou so much to our village! Happy Samoan Language Week from us to you ❤️
Honoured watching our mentor Fonotī Pati Umaga sit down with Joegan Daniels from The D*List to talanoa about Music Portrait of a Humble Disabled Samoan – a powerful story of resilience, culture and disability leadership woven on stage.
Loved hearing Phab and those long-time connections being acknowledged, and seeing how years of relationship and community are woven through this production.

Everyone always sees the final performance.. but no one ever sees the behind the scenes 🤣 the laughs, the chaos, the nerves, the final moments of rehearsing seconds before the stage and honestly? Moments like this makes it all worth it ✨ throwing it back to Polyfest 50th anniversary 2025
