As part of the second segment of our ‘Pacific Culture Unpacked’ mini podcast series, we talk about how gender roles are generally perceived in Pasifika culture and the behavioural norms that are associated with it. Specifically, we give our unfiltered & honest thoughts on certain Tongan traditions that cause a detriment to people’s lives because of their gender and the cultural obligations and responsibilities that arise from it.

Joseph & Myiuna start off this short podcast series by first unravelling a long critical issue that is affecting our pacific communities: mental health. We discuss the reasons why mental health is still stigmatised in the culture and what steps we as a people can take to stop this stigma from negatively impacting our people further.

In this episode we are joined by Pina & Nafe as they share with us unfiltered perspectives and first-hand experiences of what it's like to date as a Polynesian in this day and age. We discuss whether Tongan traditional dating customs have either been over taken or balanced with modern dating approaches. All of this is combined with a whole lot of laughter, tea and fun!

On today’s episode, we discuss the state of social media today.
