WEAVING RAINBOWS - ASIA STANLEY

[@ffuifui]

CoconetTV y'alls have been killing it! Your content has been so much more informative and truthful to our Polynesian people. Please continue the great work and I look forward to seeing more of this series!

[@venisapolu871]

I like your view about the malu. Much respect to you & be happy & be kind. Cheers 👍

[@vichands3743]

I absolutely love Asia.. I do agree with you that Faafafige should not have a Malu, it is for our sisters and it is a disgrace to our culture to have faafafige wear a Malu. Malo lava Asia

[@s.matai2c155]

I respect her stance on the cultural part of being a Samoan. She knows the value of the malu within the culture and it's not some fantasy that you can put on AND take off whenever you feel like it. The malu has a significant meaning for the women and the Fafas understand their role within that construct.

[@eveshakra9776]

I love everything about her what she stands for who she is! You deserve all the happiness in the world Asia! Love from Australia :)

[@ruzhaynoir]

This is a one in a million "classy" fafafine who is intelligent & who is her own person etc. Love her views on the topic of malus & life. What a beautiful soul & love how she is respectful of her Samoan traditions & family. Obviously, she is quite endearing to all that is blessed to have her in their lives. More power to you, Asia... Be blessed always & in ALL ways! :B-)

[@omggiiirl2077]

This is why just one reason why I love Polynesia, especially Sāmoa! Our cultures and mentality have always been Eons ahead of Western culture.

Very well documented of a Samoan fa'afafine. Good questions which were well answered. I applaud you, and standing ovation for Asia

[@King_2ya]

Well done Coconet, awesome short doco, celebrating our faafafine sisters by showcasing their talents and positive contribution to Samoan society.

[@lola8180]

Beautiful story! I really like how she spoke about love - people tend to forget that romantic love isn’t the only type of love that surrounds you; for some people platonic and familial love is enough and everything 🧡

[@Eyela93]

This is beautiful ♥️🌈 I see a strong minded woman destined for big things.

[@aloha_oe311]

I love her intelligence. Fa’afafines are so smart. Also I love how Samoan family are very accepting to their family members who are Fafas. Nothing will break a Samoan family bond.

[@reginarodrigues8277]

Intelligent, honest, loving. Doesn't matter if you're male female. Like she said, be good and do good! More people need that kind of outlook in life!

[@maloni]

I love this... Thank you Asia, you are beautiful both inside and out. 😘😘😘

[@pitasiulai9822]

I adore and love your views on how a fafafine should value and treasure themselves and our culture. Keep up the good work. Keep on inspiring people. 😊

[@tonganqueenb5517]

I admire your courage to by yourself and agree that culture needs to be preserved. But in the same breath, it must also evolve and grow with the times. The Fafafine should create their own tattoo for future generations.

[@jennifertuivailala525]

Def made me tear up seeing how much Asia's family loves and supports her 💯💯❤❤

[@Dwayne707countryliving]

So what I'm hearing is that fa'afafine are only allowed to dress like a woman and have the superficial manners of a woman, but they are not allowed to embrace all that they possibly can about being a woman. I accept Asia as being a woman wholly and completely because that is how she identifies herself. It is only natural for a woman to want to fall in love with someone and be loved in return. Just because she is a fa'afafine, she should not deny herself of love. Heterosexuals are not asked to deny themselves of love, so why should she? Also, I don't see why it would be a disgrace to the culture if a woman wants a malu. If Samoan people accept Asia as a woman, they should also accept if she decides to get a malu. There is nothing disgraceful about fa'afafine getting a malu, and it shows the world that they fully believe in and accept their femininity. By getting a malu, fa'afafine are declaring to the world that they are real women.

[@salapuyoamouf1313]

Because at the end of the day they still are not real biological woman…clearly Asia knows that and implies that a few times as I’m sure most faafafine know they aren’t real women. Why should we call something it’s not.. Faafafine are in a league of their own and are respected as such..that is what sets Samoan faafafine apart from the rest of the world.. cause they know they are not real woman and respect that they are not… well.. the ones with brains.. faafafine ( in the manner of a woman/ like a woman.. but NOT a woman) As for love.. I think her parents were only protecting Asia from the possibilities of domestic abuses and complications especially with Samoan men… that’s just an observation knowing our parents… Respect Asia so much for her strength and personality..she’s a lovely soul and wish her all the best!!

[@samoamosamoa419]

6:01 he telling the truth as a 12 heard old gay boy whose has strict parents trying to tuff me up as a man…. It didn’t work watching asia is like giving out advice for the fafafine out there to be who you are and don’t let me people talk and about you…. Alofa atu asia Stanley
