"Realizing my dream of living in New York has been a journey marked by numerous challenges and valuable lessons. As a native Hawaiian, I am deeply proud of my heritage and grateful for the rich cultural legacy of my ancestors. I believe it is our personal responsibility to cultivate happiness and fulfillment, not just for ourselves, but also for our spiritual guides and ancestors who live through us.

 

As a Hawaiian, I feel a profound sense of responsibility to share the love and spirit of my culture, which has been impacted by historical suppression and cultural appropriation. While living in Hawaii is distinct from visiting as a tourist, I have found that New York offers opportunities for growth and exploration.

 

Despite the challenges, I am grateful for my family and the beauty of this new chapter. However, my heart remains with Hawaii, where the cost of living has skyrocketed, forcing many locals to leave their homeland. This is a painful reminder of the ongoing struggles of my people.

 

My life's mission is to support the restoration of Hawaii to its indigenous people, where it rightfully belongs. I am committed to working towards this vision, guided by the Hawaiian motto: 'Ua Mau ke Ea O ka 'Aina i ka pono' - The Life of this land is perpetuated in Righteousness. I appreciate your support and collaboration in this important endeavor."
