As May rolls in and we celebrate AAPI month, I’m filled with gratitude to have a dad that not only paved the way for me to be humble, resilient, brave, and kind.. but the way he shared these things were casual yet absolute, calm and confident, unwavering yet welcoming conversation. There will never be another …
The colors and symbolism of the 🧡and 💚signature blankets represent our roots, our accomplishments, and our heritage.
🧡My dad and I are graduates of James Campbell HS in Ewa Beach, Hawai’i. My heart still beats on Kuhina and Kauiki.
💚We’re both graduates of the University of Hawai’i. He sought higher education during a time when it was rare for Pacific Islanders to do so. He had an astute sense of direction and knew the necessary tools required to create and inspire impactful change.
✨We both became business owners at similar chapters in our lives. I have so many questions. Our roads will meet again one sweet day.
