Pacific Empowerment
Pacific Empowerment Podcast was founded by a Tongan woman entrepreneur, Akanesi Kaufusi, to uplift and inspire Pacific Island people to take bold action, chase their dreams, and dream as big as they dare. This podcast challenges the limitations of traditional thinking and cultural expectations that often hold our people back. It’s a space to break free from fear, take risks, and rewrite what’s possible - no matter your background or environment. Your situation doesn’t define you. Your vision does.

I also share my own story - 11 years of marriage, tested and refined. Along the way, I offer relationship advice for young people and married couples navigating infidelity.
This episode is real, challenging, and necessary. Let’s talk about the things no one wants to sa, but everyone needs to hear,
