Her Work Continues...
In July 2021, just months before graduation, Seilala Stephanie Palu passed away. Though she couldn't physically walk the stage, her years of dedication were honored when California State University, Northridge (CSUN) posthumously awarded her Bachelor’s Degree in Cinema and Television Arts. Today, her diploma and creative tools stand as a testament to her resilience. Seilala believed in following one’s calling despite the obstacles—a belief that now serves as the heartbeat of this foundation.
