vā spaces

I uphold the profound understanding of vā space passed down to me by my mother. It's a deeply rooted belief that vā is not just a concept, but a guiding principle for how we should all live. Creating room for others to flourish within our shared spaces is one of the most beautiful acts we can perform as inhabitants of this planet.

i said tulou bitch

“Teu le vā. The philosophical cultural call to action, to take care of the vā. To care for your relationships. We are all connected. Our actions and our intentions matter. The way we treat people matters. All our relationships require the same respect and regard we hold for ourselves.”
