Sunnydale is home to one of the largest Pacific Islander communities in San Francisco. Most people don’t know that. But if you’ve ever been here, you feel it.

The culture, the music, the way people show up for each other. It’s woven into this neighborhood.

Join us Thursday, May 28 as we celebrate Fia Fia Night once again. Fia Fia means joy. And that’s exactly what this is. Live music, an outdoor floor show, Polynesian food, art activities. Free and open to everyone.

Doors open at 5PM. Registration table at 4:30.

Meet Vonnie! 🫶 @scdc_sf

Vonnie, who grew up with the Samoan Community Development Center, now serves as SCDC’s 3T’s Program Coordinator. “3T’s stands for Tupulaga Talavou Tula’i, which translates to Youth Generation Rise Up,” Vonnie said. In this role, Vonnie encourages youth to learn about their culture through dance, song, and language. And in addition to the cultural education, Vonnie and the team at SCDC care deeply for students’ families and their systems of support by checking on students’ academics and providing a whole host of programs for Samoan and other Pacific Islander families.

Amid an exciting milestone year for SCDC, concerns remain about looming city budget cuts. “We don’t know how that will impact our organizations,” said Vonnie. But even in times of uncertainty, “what brings me hope is seeing youth come still,” Vonnie said. “SCDC has impacted my life in a great way. 10, 15 years ago, I never would have seen myself doing this”

The Hub was filled with laughter, good food, flowers, and something a lot of mothers rarely get… a moment to simply pause.

The Sunnydale-Visitacion Valley Collaborative, a collective community based organizations, came together at @thehubinsf to celebrate the mothers in this community and create space for them to be cared for too.

There was a beautiful moment during the event where the room got quiet. Eyes closed. Hands on hearts. Nothing to do. Nothing to fix. No one to take care of for a few minutes. Just a chance to breathe, relax, and receive.

Moments like this matter.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day special, including @visitacionvalleystrongfamilies, @greaterlife4u, @mercyhousing, @facessf, @bayviewymca and @scdc_sf.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and mother figures in our community. 💛

As we celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, it’s important that we intentionally uplift and acknowledge the Pacific Islander community and the deep contributions they’ve made to the City and County of San Francisco for generations.

Thank you Dr. Patsy, Sophia, and PeeJay for all you do for our city and community. 🌺

I’m committed to making sure Pacific Islander communities are not only acknowledged, but truly supported with the resources and investment needed to continue to build, stay, and thrive in San Francisco.

Representation matters. Presence matters. And community matters. @fia415 @puipuiheart @scdc_sf @aprisf
