A PWPBN Initiative
Sydney, NSW – In a momentous celebration of unity and purpose, the Pacific Perspectives Brunch marked a remarkable milestone for the Pacific Women’s Professional Business Network (PWPBN) and its new endeavor, the Young Pacific Women’s Collective. The event, which took place on September 2nd in Sydney, NSW, gathered diverse young Pacific women, igniting a renewed wave of empowerment, and setting the stage for transformative change in NSW, Australia. Loau Donina Va’a, Chair of PWPBN, resonated with the collective strength, stating that true empowerment involves guiding others through open doors. The Young Pacific Women’s Collective, an inspiring initiative, came to life through the dedicated efforts of young Pacific women leaders Bridget Cama, Kesaia Takau, and Rosaline Ah Chong, who are committed to fostering empowerment and inclusion. Reverend Faaimata Havea Hiliau, the Moderator of the NSW and ACT Synod, initiated the event with an inspiring prayer, acknowledging the collective impact of the young women present.
