She lives in the SF Bay Area and is a daughter of Samoa. She is founder of Pacific Islander Community Partnership (PICP), as well as founder of Camp Unity Polynesian Inspired Summer Enrichment Program. In response to many Samoan youth who were raised stateside and had never been to the islands, Manufou brought the islands to them by creating a summer enrichment program which focused on Pacific Island culture. The many youth found a connection to their roots. The program is quite successful in helping youth find their identity as Pacific Islanders and taking pride in their rich cultural heritage. That is just one of hats that Manufou wears. She also sits on various Boards of Directors and School Boards. She is a Commissioner at the San Mateo County Commission on the Status of Women. She is a Commissioner at Personnel Board City of Daly City. And last but not least, she is a Head Start Management Fellow at UCLA Anderson School of Management.
