My name is Taliese Fuaga and I am from Tacoma, Washington also known as “Tactown”. I am a football player here at Oregon State University and I am also a Sociology major. I take a lot of pride being Samoan. I love my culture and want to be able to share it with everyone. My family is my rock and the reason I have made it this far. I want to give back not just to my family but to the community of Tacoma and also the Polynesian communities all around.
