Sevuloni Lule, a Fijian professional dancer and drag queen, is gaining popularity in Shenzen, China, challenging traditional notions of masculinity. Lule, who performs as Savanaah Marco LaVulva, found freedom and community in Shenzen, contrasting with his experiences of bullying in Fiji. He plans to return to Fiji to share his art and contribute to the local LGBTQ+ community. Other queer Fijian influencers like Shaneel Lal, Ellia Green, and Shaheel Sanil Prasad are also making strides in advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and challenging gender norms. Despite their popularity, the Rainbow Pride Foundation Fiji highlights ongoing discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community in Fiji. The foundation notes that while LGBTQ+ entertainers are tolerated for their content, serious discussions about their rights are often overlooked. However, the increasing influence of queer artists is beginning to change perceptions and dialogues around LGBTQ+ rights in Fiji.

Laisiasa Raibevu Davetawalu, a 25-year-old Fijian designer, has made significant strides in the fashion industry, completing professional training at the Fashion Design Studio at Tafe NSW in Australia and landing a job at Zimmermann. His graduate collection, which incorporates Fijian design traditions, was featured in Australian Vogue. Davetawalu's work is supported by the Fiji fashion community and Fiji Fashion Week, which serves as a platform for emerging designers. The Fijian fashion scene is also a safe space for LGBTQI+ individuals. Despite challenges such as a lack of formal education and state support, local designers are creating unique indigenous prints and gaining recognition. Davetawalu's journey from a student to a professional designer highlights the potential of Fiji's fashion industry.
