Kalisito Biaukula

Known to many as Kali, she serves as the Program Navigator for the Regional Pacific Islander Task Force (RPITF). Proudly of Fijian descent and using she/her pronouns, Kali is dedicated to developing culturally relevant programs that connect Pacific Islanders in Alameda County with essential county resources. Her work ensures these programs are accessible, impactful, and tailored to the unique needs of the community.  Beyond her role with RPITF, Kali is a cultural entrepreneur, passionately teaching and preserving the art of Fijian tapa design, known as Masi, through community workshops and education. Her efforts help strengthen cultural identity and keep traditional practices alive for future generations.  Tonight, we're excited to dive into her work, her passion for cultural preservation, and the lasting impact of RPITF's initiatives.
