I’m here ♥️

Thank you Netflix for celebrating our API (Asian Pacific Islander) community! Can’t wait to see more of our Polynesian people flourish into this industry.

This is a custom top made out of Tongan Ngatu. Traditionally this material is made from the bark of Hiapo or Mulberry Tree. Our ancestors passed this method down and mostly women hand make the Ngatu. It’s been a prized TREASURE (Koloa) of our ancestors and still is to this very day. It’s given at prestige’s events that celebrate milestones of life and the essence of our people. This necklace is a special piece we like to call, Heilala. Adorned with the significant color of Red representing my beautiful Tongan people.

This was an emotional appearance for me. Because for the first time in the many years I’ve been in this industry, I was able to represent and embrace my culture and family on these Hollywood floors. Feels liberating to be authentically yourself 🙏🏼

To my fans, I love you heavy! you’re in for one hell a f a ride x

@teenvogue: As a member of girl group Fifth Harmony, Dinah Jane spent a few years split between two contrasting realities. There’s Dinah Jane, the bubbly pop star, globetrotting around the world with her band mates, and then there’s Dinah Jane Milika Ilaisaane Hansen, the shy and humble young Tongan woman who still lives in her family home. After taking a three year break from music, the 25-year-old is now in what she calls her “rebirth” era, ready to merge her “double life” into one and embrace her culture identity within her own music: “I’m not shying away from who I am anymore,” she says. “I’m a Polynesian girl and I’m not afraid to speak my voice, and I’m not afraid for you to hear my voice.”

My dad took me on a day trip to Moloka’i. It’s stunningly beautiful and surprisingly small — 38 miles long and 10 miles wide, with a large part of the island being protected and inaccessible. There are no traffic lights on the island, one grocery store and two gas stations, and most of the stores are closed on Sundays, when we happened to go. It was so quiet. After the nonstop noise and development on Oahu, standing in a forest so quiet that you could whisper to each other was eerie and wonderful.
