Some Quotes by Tui

“We’re all different people but what you're seeing is the team culture that we’ve built, and that's a real thing . There’s nowhere I would rather be. Straight up”

“Right now life is about as uncertain as knowing when to open your eyes at the right time for a photo. Hope everyone is staying safe and kind to one another”
