Suluafi Brianna Fruean
Brianna’s the type of person you meet and leave wanting to be a better person. She’s a force to be reckoned with – activist, climate change warrior, and daughter of the moana. At just 11 years old, she co-founded the Samoan chapter of 350.org, becoming the youngest-ever country coordinator. Her passion for the environment and its impact on the Pacific has made her one of the leading voices for climate justice, whether she’s rallying at a local event or taking the global stage.
In 2023, Brianna took her activism to the Miss Samoa pageant, landing runner up and instantly winning the hearts of the Pacific. With her grace, passion, and unwavering determination, Brianna’s become a true inspiration to her people and beyond. Whether she’s on a stage, in a meeting, or on social media, Brianna’s all about shaping the future with community, power, and love for the planet. It’s hard to find someone heartier than our girl, Suluafi Brianna.
