Pasefika Presence

National,

Community Focus: Pacific Islanders

We at Pasefika Presence Magazine believe that the Pacific is home to some of the most powerful, compelling storytellers in the world. However, there are not always many accessible avenues or platforms for us to share those stories. Our mission is to provide a space for voices of the Pacific to share their stories through the publication of their writing and art. Through our publication process, we also aim to provide mentorship to storytellers who are seeking it. We at Pasefika Presence believe our stories can move mountains. We believe our stories can shift power structures. We believe our stories can save lives. And that’s why we feel it’s our duty to share them.

We strive to make our curriculum culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and bilingual, aspects crucial to meet our students where they are.
