Find out what she shared with us below…

  • 1. My middle name, Sauniatu, derives from the village in Samoa, where my Polynesian family originates.
  • 2. Besides acting, dancing brings me joy, mainly hip hop, but I also love to dance my cultural dances such as the Taualunga, Hula, O’tea, and Latin dancing.
  • 3. Fitness is a passion of mine, instilled in me from a young age. I am grateful for the lessons my family taught me about the importance of an active lifestyle. We go to the gym together and play sports together like, volleyball, boxing, weightlifting, and sprint training.
  • 4. It amazes me that my siblings and I managed to get away with a bustling little business during our elementary school days, selling random items at school, like baseball cards, raisins, and pencil erasers. It was an early lesson in entrepreneurship!
  • 5. As a family, we are building a production company. I aspire to become a producer and act in the movies we produce.
  • 6. I love plants! Whenever I book a role, I make it a tradition to purchase a plant and give it my character’s name from that particular role.
  • 7. I’ve recently developed a love for fashion. I’m always on the lookout for new and unique pieces to add to my wardrobe.
  • 8. My last name is Su’a, short for Su’apai’ai. My great-grandfather shortened it when he came to America from Samoa.
  • 9. One of my hobbies is creating small-scale short films, some of which are meant for my family’s eyes only and might never see the light of day, but I really have fun creating!
  • 10. When I was 11 years old, during one of our regular family game nights, my mom baked homemade cookies. As I was reaching on the shelf for our game “Sequence,” my mom suddenly announced, “The cookies are ready!” Freshly baked cookies, say less, I dashed towards the kitchen but slipped and hit the bottom of my chin on the floor; I needed stitches. Needless to say, game night was canceled, but I was able to take a few nibbles of a chocolate chip cookie when I got home from my surgery!
