Dahlia is a passionate educator, author, publisher, and is the creator of Mila's Books - Pasifika children's books that help our tamaiti to be seen, heard and valued as Pasifika. Since 2019, Dahlia has written children's stories and is the first Pasifika author to have authored stories that have been published across all schooling levels (pre-school, primary school and high school). In 2021 she authored Te Papa Tongarewa's first Samoan bilingual board book, Asiasiga i le falemataaga i Te Papa / Going to Te Papa, which won a Storylines Notable Book Award. Dahlia also created the Mila's My Aganu'u Series - the first Pasifika children's picture books in the world written, edited, illustrated, designed and published by an all-Pasifika team. Ultimately, Dahlia would love to enable tamaiti to confidently and proudly succeed as Pasifika and is driven by wanting to share the power of our beautiful Pasifika stories with the world.
