I am faʻafafine and queer of Samoa and Iranian heritage. I live and work between Australia and Canada and use both terms, as well as Two Spirit, depending on where I am and what people know of Indigenous cultures.

I would love to see island communities free from domestic and sexual violence and from intergenerational trauma, and embracing of consensual celebrations of sensuality, sexuality, and care centered on faʻafafine, faʻatama, queer, and non-binary folks.
