A joyful Hiwa-i-te-Rangi with short blond hair, wearing a blue shirt and grey pants, laughs while sitting on my lap wearing a black cap and shirt, whose arms are wrapped around him for support. We are on a blue couch with a collection of plush toys, including Pokémon characters and a large green dinosaur, arranged behind us. In the foreground, a beautifully carved wooden award with intricate patterns and an infinity symbol shape sits on a table covered with a black-and-white patterned cloth. The award reads “Prix Special Jury du FIFO”, celebrating the 1st Special Jury Prize won by Trans & Pregnant at FIFO in Tahiti. A framed artwork featuring a night sky with glowing stars hangs on the wall in the background.

Hiwa was full of happiness as he the parcel with 1st Special Jury Prize tohu that Trans & Pregnant won at FIFO in Tahiti last month!

Mauri ora! ✨
