What does being Samoan mean to you?

For Samoan Language Week 2026, we flipped the script. Instead of interviewing someone else, we handed the mic over to a special guest interviewer who put us in the hot seat and asked us the questions many NZ-born Samoans wrestle with throughout their lives.  In this honest, funny, and sometimes challenging conversation, we share stories from our childhoods, church life, family gatherings, language struggles, cultural expectations, parenting, and the realities of navigating life between two worlds.  Whether you're fluent in Samoan, still learning, or simply trying to find your place within your culture, this episode is for you.  Happy Samoan Language Week!  #SamoanLanguageWeek #Samoan #Samoa #PacificPodcast #NZSamoan #Pasifika #SamoanIdentity #LanguageWeek #Culture #Podcast
