The rich diversity of Hawaii, where different cultures weave together to create a beautiful communal tapestry. I am deeply motivated by my daughters and the future generations of keiki, as well as my husband, who has shown me what true love means, supporting me through my cancer journey, parenthood, and life's many ups and downs. Our family is a vibrant blend of Hawaiian, Chinese, African American, English, and Irish heritage, so diversity is literally in our blood. We celebrate it all!

Being a mother to my intelligent daughters and an artist and activist dedicated to positive change. I lobby for small businesses on Capitol Hill and proudly represent a certified B Corporation that aligns with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. As a Made-in-Hawaii brand, I focus on activism and environmentalism while ensuring my work benefits all. In this ever-changing world, I strive to use business as a force for good, inspiring a better future for my family.

To be used as working capital to scale my Made in Hawaii brand, a certified B Corp, allowing us to produce sustainable products for clients like The Four Seasons & Disney. This funding would help us ethically manufacture & export our goods while ensuring a portion of our revenue supports community initiatives. We are committed to giving back through education & the perpetuation of Hawaiian culture. This investment would empower us to use business as a force for good, ti benefit commu
