Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Kia orana.
My name is Paris Fifita, and I am from the beautiful islands of Samoa (Letogo), Tonga (Kolomotu‘a, Vava‘u), Aitutaki (Amuri) and Atiu (Teenui-Kurukava).
Prior to joining Le Va, I worked within a kaupapa Māori organisation, gaining experience in coordinating talent, managing administrative functions and supporting project initiatives. This work strengthened my passion for contributing to initiatives that uplift and serve our communities.
I am a proud mother to my beautiful girl, who is my greatest motivation. She inspires me to help shape a world where she can thrive as a proud Pasifika woman.
I am honoured to be part of the Le Va aiga and look forward to supporting the organisation’s work with igniting change within our Pasifika communities.
Papata pē, ka na’e lalanga – It may be coarse in texture, but it was woven - Tongan proverb
