Le Pasifika RUNWAY, a Pacific Islander fashion show on October 22, 2022, in our hometown of Portland, OR.

This is the first show of its kind to focus on representing Pacific Islanders!

Go, Team Nika! Nika Wase’s traditional designs and wearable arts were featured in Le Pasefika Runway 2022 this past weekend. We were excited for Nika to represent the Republic of the Marshall Islands in this wonderful event! #fashion #fashionshow #pacificislander #MarshallIslands

Living Islands is also inviting attendees to participate in our tobacco use survey! See us at our table during the event, where you can take the survey to win some fantastic prizes!

“The Marshallese community, we thrive and live off basketball… to inspire our younger generation, and especially my kids is very emotional to me and fulfilling.”

Rowland Quinit of the Quad City Flames was the first Marshallese basketball player to play professionally in the U.S. #GOFLAMES
