From Workshops to Market Day: The Lumana'i Journey
Part 2: Lumana'i Market Evening
The Lumana'i Market Evening was buzzing with energy, laughter, and the unstoppable creativity of Pasifika youth. Families, friends, stakeholders, and curious community members stopping by from the street filled the space, turning it into a lively celebration of culture, kai, and enterprise.
Business Spotlight: Our Amazing Entreprenuers
The seven young entrepreneurs from the Lumana'i Youth Enterprise Program showcased their products and services, and all sold out well before the night came to a close! Their businesses included:

- William Sauaso-Rasch - @brownbeautyapparel
- {insert name} - @krownedkuki
- Erenei - @ereneithelabel

From handmade apparel to creative food ventures, their stalls reflected cultural pride, innovation, and growing business confidence.
The evening also created a vibrant space for connection: families cheers their young people on, supporters engaged with youth-led businesses, and the community came together to celebrate and back the next generation of Pasifika entrepreneurs.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended and supported the Lumana'i Market Evening. Your encouragement made the night a huge success and empowered our youth to dream big, back themselves, and step into the future as confident Pasifika business leaders.
