Imagine thinking *YOU* need to be the voice of the voiceless. Imagine thinking people are actually "voiceless" and not systematically silenced. Our work is not to be other people's voice. It is to question how and why we got access to spaces others couldn't, and to pass the mic.
I’ve never known a pain like this. My heart is so broken Fas. I pleaded with you to stay even though I knew it was your time to go. My little,big, brother. How I wish I could hug you one more time. Laugh with you,one more time. My heart. I love you brother. So much. @fasbruh 🕊

Another Micronesian child of the diaspora dead by police. "Rescue Eram was shot dead by San Marcos police April 10th".
We've donated. Let's get his earthly body home so his family can have peace 🙏🏽 we also call for details to be public!

*big sigh*
Will begin blocking accounts that spout anti-Micronesian hate + discrimination now, just like I had to do WEEKS AGO when the whole Pacific Island Forum fiasco went down 😷 2021 decided Micronesians weren't getting any breaks and must fight for our voices to be heard.
If you even have a sliver of desire to help your community, you are more than qualified to serve in community-based orgs, run for office, and enter spaces to create change and affect policy.
Pacific Islanders are worthy and smart enough to make these spaces theirs!
@saiahasiata Definitely pick up some tips maybe by watching how Reina does it in the @MoungaProject's youtube videos! I especially loved her moderating in ep. 5: Pacific Islander LGBTQ+

I promise you, telling someone they’re “pretty for a bigger girl” is not the compliment you think it is. At that point just don’t even say anything. We not accepting backhanded compliments in 2021. DUMMIES.
