Weaving the Streets
tells the story of Rani, a trans woman growing up in a Fijian village and the struggle and suffering she has faced, leaving home while still in high school to “work the streets” as a sex worker.

You go gal, build your dreams. All I know is that I've known you for the past 20 years and as a former taxi driver in Suva have seen your struggles on the streets. And thank you for being my friend as I always regarded you. May God bless you in your further endeavours.
