Daughters of the Migration - Parris Goebel

The Coconet TV is proud to kick off its 'Daughter's of the Migration' series celebrating the impact Pacific women have had in Aotearoa over the generations.
The Samoan supernova that is Parris Goebel tells the little-known story of her family dynamics growing up in South Auckland, and the strong sisterhood that helped her build a global legacy. We celebrate this trailblazing Kiwi-Islander in this special glimpse into her life, with these rare captured moments of one of the busiest women in the biz.

[@FK-mx8hy]

I’m so annoyed at my parents for never even teaching me the language

[@johntom5563]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sagala30]

Proud to be Samoan and I love how she remain grounded not following the Hollywood tradition of fashion designers and keeping strong in Samoan culture. Love this clip and love the strong Polynesian woman she is 👍 💕

[@69ridlah]

I love how you portray hip hop dance without having to use a lot of sexual references just to make a statement in dance, your craft is phenomenal and empowering for women alike.

[@zainabamadahy9918]

Parris' dedication to youth is admirable. She has such a beautiful heart.

[@sncmadam271]

She is my inspiration i named my daughter after her😘

[@bethany4508]

As a half white half Tongan I definitely resonate with this! Especially learning Tongan as a language because I always felt lost and finding yourself in your own culture is so important to me ❤️

[@wutdafeezy]

I’m so proud that she’s Samoan descent. I don’t see her in a box though as just that. She is an unapologetically strong and proud woman with a big heart and I just really love that about her.

[@fahrinurlaub01vg]

such a strong stage presence, such a soft voice, such a beautiful human being!

[@emoriwaka9100]

❤️this video, felt a strong connection with Parris, I’m also Polynesian migrated to NZ as a 5yr old and lived in Grey Lynn and Ponsonby....you have strong family support....in your culture there’s a lot of respect and you have never forgotten your roots....Crowns Up!!...❤️

[@PamskeeDepp]

Geeeez fierce prominent dance- choreographer on stage BUT PARRIS HAD A GENUINE PERFORMANCE TO BE ADMIRED. Now I UNDERSTAND their choreography related to their life experiences...Idol Parris my salute 😉😉😉😉

[@nlhoete]

What an inspiration you are Parris, beautiful, I'am Maori, my husband is Samoan/Tongan. The Lord, family, and culture mean everything. Thank you.

Girl Aruba is waiting on you. I love watching Parris dance. She has some wicked moves. She seems very humble helping others and I know they appreciate it very much. Thank you for being an inspiration and someone other could look up to.

[@floridahunt-motu7215]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ it’s never too late to learn the language. Life is all about learning.

[@meref9973]

"I don't have any children but I kinda do so I'm trying to do my part". Thank you Paris for all that you are and all that you do. Thank you for giving back to our community. You don't know how many lives you've saved.

[@TheSamoanVlogger]

Beautiful Goebel Sisters! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and paving the way. God Bless You all on future endeavors to come. Alofas and Blessings X

[@kahu54KiOM]

You. Inspire. Me. ....and I’m an older lady. I am so happy to see this video. I have been waiting to hear your voice describing your ideas of your beautiful Samoan culture and wider whānau. 🌷☘️ BE A U T I F U L ☘️🌷

[@jlgarcia9175]

Yow, the intro was lit (the dancing part with the music blend). She's an inspiration. I fall in love with dancing because of here.

[@kaylahmatano1749]

I really love how we're really influencing pacific islanders SO PROUD OF PARRIS ❤️❤️❤️😭

[@nesian2]

Love Parris. So humble!! What a beautiful family too 💕

[@Rosie_pastel]

Man she is a living LEGEND 🙌🙌

[@Lishmaa]

This was an amazing! She's a great inspiration to all Polynesian kids, she really shows where you can take your passion. Wish her all the best in everything she does, God bless you always Parris Goebel and Family!

[@aynsley_broom]

This is SO awesome! I'm so thankful for this series. When she said she's eager to learn Samoan, I totally get that. I can relate to her story of growing up in a dominantly white community and being the only brown girl in your class is daunting at times. I'm so thankful to be learning more about my heritage and wanting to be a more positive role model for my cousins and the kids I know who live here in the States. She is such a great inspiration and I love what she and her sisters are doing! Way to go!

[@Genso326]

She now became a pride for her people. So kids would point on her and tell she is ours and belong to the same ethnicity as me. Everyone need someone to be proud of and brag about especially kids

[@kaylahmatano1749]

I absolutely love this✊🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️

[@g-foxmageo9255]
