About us
Talofa Lava & warm Pacific Greetings,
In a nutshell; we’re a group of ordinary Samoan dudes from South Auckland. No flash qualifications or thick wallets, just young men on a mission to better our people. We pretty much grew up together and now we’re more like brothers. We had this phase where we were sick of just working weekdays then just wasting it on the weekend and repeating the cycle over and over again, so we thought, why don’t we start something we can call our own … fast forward few years later and God blessed us with Brown Pride. We’re only getting started but we got big ambitions and plans ahead of us. All your support is truly appreciated!

Unlike Western solutions that are very individual based, Brown Pride’s solutions/initiatives are rooted in the Fonofale model and work collectively to address this problem.
