MEET CELINA TUPOU-FULIVAI

For AAPI Month, we celebrate Celina Tupou-Fulivai our 2022 AANHPI Women Rising Training alumna.

For Asian American & Pacific Islander Month, we celebrate community organizer and @heliakico founder Celina Tupou-Fulivai and her tireless advocacy for Pacific Islanders!

“As a first-generation Tongan American, I draw strength from my heritage, a constant source of inspiration in my community work.
