Samoan Daughters Quotes

“Vāve mai i le fāle, my mother said vehemently. Hurry home.
She took a drag from a cigarette and walked towards the sewing machine. Her workplace and altar of worship.
Before she sat down, she picked up a pair of scissors and pointed them towards me. Ma fa`apāku i luga lē gā ulu. Kāo ia, fa`akogu so`o. And how many times do I need to tell you to wrap your hair up in a bun before you leave this house? I could just bake you in an oven!”
― Sia Figiel
