Our Story

"Seeing our Pacific Islander community drifting apart saddened me. Instead of unity, I noticed divisions and negativity. That's why I started Pasifik Ave Company – to bring our people back together. I want to celebrate our differences and create a place where pride and unity shine. Let's weave our stories together and embrace the strength that comes from being one family – Polynesian, Melanesian, Micronesian. Pasifik Ave is more than a brand; it's a movement to unite us all."

Mission Statement:

“Our mission is to serve as a unifying force for South Pacific people, reminding them of their shared heritage & traditions.”

Vision Statement:

“We envision a world where the diverse cultures of the South Pacific are celebrated and understood by people from all walks of life.”
