Dinner with Gavin, Caelin, Leah and Sterling
I had a lovely time getting dinner with this fun and friendly group. We haven't had the chance to spend much time together before, and I had a great time. Looking forward going to athlete's dinner with y'all sometime soon!! Thanks again for inviting us over :)
Learning about Hawaiian/Samoan Traditional Tattoo Art
I've always been fascinated with body art and the stories attached to different people's tattoos, so having this opportunity was really exciting and I learnt a lot. It was amazing to hear about the process of consultation and the symbolism behind Kawena's tattoo, and really sweet to see her grandma there on the day chatting and being there for support. I hadn't realised the importance of helpers to stretch/keep the skin in place, nor understood what is meant by 'tapping' until I saw it for myself! The whole process was definitely something I wouldn't ever have gotten the chance to see or really hear much about otherwise and I really appreciated being invited there.
