Talofa lava Hibiscus Pacifica Sisters and Daughters,

As we come together to celebrate this joyous sea*on, we take a moment to reflect on the strength, resilience, and unity that define us as Pacific Island women. This year, like every year, we have faced challenges, but we have risen, as we always do, with grace, courage, and a deep commitment to our communities.

May this Christmas bring warmth and peace to your hearts, and may the spirit of togetherness fill your homes. Let us cherish the bonds we share as sisters, mothers, daughters, and leaders in our communities.

As we step into the New Year, let it be a time for new beginnings, renewed hope, and continued growth. Let us support each other in our individual journeys, lift each other up in times of need, and celebrate our collective successes with joy.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year filled with alofa, health, and happiness.

We look forward to seeing you all in person in the new year!

God Bless!
Lautalie and Traci

Understanding what our communities need is so important - enough that we need to pull together all resources, feedback and hunches to make a plan forward for 2025.

We are hopeful to raise the profile of Hibiscus Pacifica 🌺 building on trusting, respectful and caring relationships. Our youth are so precious and we all look forward to supporting them with so many roadblocks in our society today.

Onwards and upwards - with a bit of green tea and hot chocolate ☕️
