Coming back to LA, it was special for me to represent my heritage in the city I grew up in with hundreds of my family and friends in the stands. Last Sunday was White Sunday, a day in Samoa to celebrate childhood and the children in the community. I wore all white to celebrate the holiday. Proud to have Samoan blood and represent the culture," he wrote on Instagram.
