Fa’afafine Social Page & Podcast Show

​The Fa’afafine Rural Program has launched its new Facebook fan page & its revamped
podcast show, Fala Lalaga. The objective of these projects is to broaden the Program’s
reach to the target demographic – the fa’afafine community.


The Facebook Fanpage can be found by searching “American Samoa Fa’afafine Rural
Program”. The purpose of creating this fan page is to not overwhelm the main Alliance
page with Rural activity. It’ll also help us be more in control of the content we share with
our community to more easily educate them and build awareness on issues that are
important to fa’afafine and the SOCGIE community in American Samoa.

The Fala Lalaga podcast was, prior to the revamp launch, audio only. The show uses
our new Facebook fan page to go live, and the Alliance zoom account to record each
episode for community reference. The new series is video + audio and is organized to
include 3 main components:

1. The Main Topic of discussion is segmented to happen during the second half of
the show and will include guests who are relevant to the main topic.

2. Two or three Subtopics that are related to events &; activities highlighted by either
the Rural, SOFIAS, Alliance or International Advocacy & Awareness Calendars.

3. A segment for Rural or SOFIAS to share community updates or announcements,
if any.

The first episode of this new series was an introductory episode, where our Program
Manager & Coordinator introduced the podcast, shared about the Fa’afafine Rural
Program, our upcoming programs, events & activities, and closed with what and who to
expect during the next episode in October.
