Paige's Story (Brisbane, Australia)

12/2/2016

My story... to bring the words I wrote about my experiences as a half-cast to life. This is called "An Afakasi's Lot". A short depiction of the obstacles that many mixed bloods go through when it comes to their culture. I hope that people who have lived through something similar can understand that and see how Beautiful they are!

wow, this is seriously amazing. I completely understood and resonated with everything you talked about. Being raised as a samoan/ New Zealand afakasi challenges me everyday from my first day of grade 8 when the samoan boy at my school told me that i wasn't samoan because i was white to my last school talent show in year 12 when i sang a traditional samoan song and everyone was surprised because of the colour of my skin. No matter how people have always treated me i remain proud of my culture. thank you so much for making me feel like im not alone.
