"E pala ma'a, a le pala upu' Even stones decay but words endure 🌺 🌺 I was at a crossroads professionally towards the end of 2017, a dear friend reached out and gave me a lifeline. That lifeline re-connected me with old Uni friends #PSFC #UoAAlumni, it also introduced me to a new industry whose ethos to serve our Pacific Communities in Aotearoa was at the core of ALL they do. To see it first hand, well just know that there are a small but mighty team fighting for the greater good for our Pacific peoples in the government. I will miss the conversations on various topics from politics, art, music, fashion, goals and aspirations; the daily banter between my desk neighbors, the sing alongs to DJ @marytiumalu playlists with Jae's verbrato in the background, the cheeky laughs from @kenboi_hipa, @emilymuli & Chief #silentassasins, the afrikaans corner, the sound of the fijian language being spoken (it actually sounds like singing when Yara speaks), and the adhoc visits from Dunkin Donuts & Krispy Kremes😆 🌺 🌺 A pleasure to serve alongside you @aiolupoteaaionosina, know that your kindness, generosity and the risk you took to take me on will never be forgotten by me and my family. Feiloai atili rather than a Tofā Soifua💛
