A space full of nothing but Pacific Island women? In Houston?? Representing Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Rotuma, Chamorro, Tahiti, Hawaii and Māori ancestry??? That’s how you make a major metropolis feel like an island village 🌴💕 Thank you .the.va for bringing AAPI month to such a meaningful close by creating this incredible space 🤍

*correction: there was one teeny baby boy in house, but he was repping for his set 🇼🇸🇦🇸🇹🇴

Excited to see Pacific and AAPI stories represented at this year’s film fest.

If you’re in Houston, come support these filmmakers, storytellers, and Pacific voices on screen. Our stories deserve to be seen, heard, and supported in spaces like this.
