SoulChef & Uptown Swuite - Bless The Child a 2022 single on SoulSwuite Music. New Zealand-based rapper SoulChef has been churning out soul and jazz-inspired hip-hop for well over a decade now, starting with 2010's Escapism. He focuses on invoking serenity through his thoughtful lyricism, meticulous productions, and head-bopping beats. He's also an endeared collaborator. For one of his latest singles, “Bless The Child,” SoulChef teams up with Bay Area-bred rapper and member of the Digital Martyrs collective Uptown Swuite, for a breezy jam steeped in nostalgia. In the song, the rappers forgive their former adolescent selves for their mistakes since it's not their fault they were products of broken homes. This isn't the first time the two have worked together. In 2020 the duo dropped the collaborative album SoulSwuite. At the time, Uptown Swuite told HipHopDX this about their relationship: “Soul Chef and I are of Samoan descent. Although I reside in California and Chef lives in New Zealand, New Zealand is like my second home. I used to live there and have real strong roots in the music/Hip Hop community of New Zealand. With this album, we really just wanted to capture the Samoan experience all around via our eyes — whether it be a Samoan living in California, New Zealand or even the motherland Samoa/American Samoa.” Watch the video for “Bless the Child,” directed by Digital Martyrs, and read the full post at KEXP.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From one Starstruck favourite to another…Rose Matafeo everyone !! I'm back in old rainy Blighty, and returning - in fine form if I say so myself - to cooking duty! Whilst gazing at the Matafeo powerhouse, I made a lovely slow roast chicken from Alison Roman's book ‘Nothing Fancy' and mum did a Saffy's LA inspired salad - it was perfect and minimal effort. Rose spoke to us about growing up in New Zealand, resenting reggae in her teens and her love of Goat Curry. She also offers up Samoan dishes and her secret to the best fry up. We ranked meats, Rom Coms and fell in love to be honest. Enjoy this episode. Go go go! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

All eyes fall upon the newest creative director of the WWE to see if he can set up the perfect main event for a WrestleMania taking place in the shadow of Hollywood, California.

For this off-season game, Chuck and Frank assume the role of Papa H as they play a cooperative one sheet RPG that seeks to answer that very question. Inspired by the one sheet RPG Potato by Oliver Darkshire (@deathbybadger), Joaquin will serve as the game master who has crafted this very silly game.

For this episode we have the charming Miss Katalyna from the Kulin Nation in Naarm that is also known as Melbourne Australia. This will be Part ONE of a two part piece.We learn of Miss Katalyna's upbringing which had constant back and forth with families that later drove the teenager to continuously run away. Growing up her family realized she was a “Faʻafafine”. This translates to people who identify themselves as having a third gender or non-binary role in Samoan culture. Tiffany shares a similar term called “baklâ” that refers to a person who was assigned male at birth and has adopted a feminine gender expression in the Phillipines. The Faʻafafine traditionally integrated in society and were seen as healers and advisers. However, this social acceptance changed after the Christian missionaries enforced a rigid concept of gender onto the indigenous culture. Yet today, we find the Samoans are fighting to reclaim this historically significant word.  Moreover, Miss Katalyna's shares a coming out story with her family where she was not fully accepted and comments on parents to remember that the parenting does not stop even after their child decides to transition. Lastly, Miss Katalyna leaves a message to the youth to follow their hearts and reach out for support! Miss Katalyna is based in Naarm (Melbourne) on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. She is a TV Presenter of the first LGBTQI+ Multicultural cooking show “The Bent Spoon '' presented by Thorne Harbour Health. She is also one of the 3 co-founders of Trans Pride March Melbourne and the Trans Pride Concert alongside 2 other Trans advocates Sasja Sÿdek from Trans Sisters United and Rebeckah Loveday Miss Duchess Global 2021. Trans Pride March Melbourne will be Victoria's first trans lead March by the Melbourne trans community. Miss Katalyna started her advocacy 28 years ago when she was only 17yo as HIV/AIDS peer educator going into high schools and educating students about the importance of safe sex. During Victoria's first year of lockdown Miss Katalyna became a Remixer and a DJ who's first gig was for All The Queens Men at Melbourne Pride 2022 and more recently doing a set for the AUNTY party curated by Sam Gaskin and Johnny Hamilton, AUNTY is an event that celebrates local QTBIPOC excellence. Find Miss Katalyna's work here: https://linktr.ee/MissKatalyna Breakfast With Tiffany Show Youtube Channel ~  https://bit.ly/3vIVzhE For questions, requests, collaborations and comments, feel free to reach us via our e-mail~breakfastwithtiffanyshow@outlook.com Leave our podcast a review, comment and ratings; Spotify ~ https://open.spotify.com/show/52ySZU9QRQOkkCfM2pJaiz?si=96fc6105f4e44a93 Apple Podcast (scroll further down in provided link to rate the episode) ~ https://podcasts.apple.com/jp/podcast/breakfast-with-tiffany-show/id1524300778 Breakfast With Tiffany Show Official Page ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com/podcastSupport the showBreakfast With Tiffany Show Official Facebook Page ~ https://www.facebook.com/breakfastwithtiffanyshow Tiffany's Instagram Account ~ https://www.instagram.com/tiffanyrossdaleofficial/ For coaching sessions & programs with Tiffany, check out her official page ~ https://www.tiffanyrossdale.com

Christina Leala Gale — Perspective from the Pacific: A Local Looks at the Connection Between Climate Change and Tourism. This is a very special and unique conversation with Christina Leala-Gale who is a Samoan native and is now based in Fiji. Christina is the Manager for Sustainable Tourism Development with the South Pacific Tourism Organization. She works at the regional level focusing on the inclusion of the global sustainable tourism agenda as well as SPTO's member countries. Christina is passionate about advocating for sustainable development and hopes the Pacific can become the green tourism destination of the future. Christina and I met through the Adventure Travel Trade Association and she continues to open my eyes to the abundant culture within and apart from the tourism industry in the Pacific. In our conversation she highlights a key part of that culture: Pacific Islanders are centered around community and shared prosperity. She gives us a glimpse into how locals feel about tourism, why sustainable tourism is the key to preserving host villages and countries, and the tangible effects of climate change in those countries that are closest to the equator. We also discuss plastics' impact on climate change, the tourism industry's contribution to plastic waste and conservation, the double-edged sword of cruises, and much more.

In today's episode, we discuss the Samoan goddess Princess Leutogi. We discuss her association with bats, the different conceptions of bats throughout the world, and the importance of not removing myths and folktales from their context.
