Whether it be; ethical fashion 👖 (repairing what you have buying what you’ll cherish), investing in clean energy 🌬️(think: what will work in YOUR community and how can we offset its environmental impact?), being cognizant of our purchases and their carbon footprint 🦶🏽(I encourage you to look into Speed & Scale by John Doerr for a comprehensive plan of how to cut emissions to net zero by 2050), or raising good trouble to ✨CHANGE POLICY✨there are SO many places and empty spaces to fill when asked how we can save our beautiful planet. And YOU can create fill them my friend!! 🫵🏽🗣️
As a young kānaka maoli with fierce interest in native rights clean water (both ocean drinkable wai) I have wondered how to insert myself into these big conversations. I love engaging with my community and being the change I want to see within it. And I’m grateful to have this platform (not only bc it gets me into these spaces in the first place!! but also) to share what I learn and hopefully inspire my fellow peers to take action -no matter how small.
We’re not as helpless as we might feel. I promise. Be brave my friends.

If you’ve felt helpless like I have over the last few days hearing about Maui and Big Island please continue reading for ways YOU CAN HELP. I’m struggling to find places that will take physical donations outside of Hawaiʻi besides ILWU Memorial Hall in Wilmington California open 8a-8p until August 17th. Comment and lmk if you know of any in your state/county.
ITEMS IN MOST DEMAND:
• Baby food
• Diapers, wipes
• Toiletries (toothbrushes, body wash, soaps, etc.)
• Sleeping bags
• Pillows
• Bedding Bed mats
• Towels
• Sandals
• Basic home necessities
Link in my bio will take you to Hawaii National Public Radio, where they lay out ways you can help, both in-person and from afar. If all you can offer is prayer, we’ll take it.
On a personal note I feel numb and close to tears every time I talk about this. Of all the natural disasters we have faced; earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and flooding… to say we were under-prepared for this disaster is an understatement. DO NOT TRAVEL TO HAWAIʻI UNLESS YOU ARE RENDERING AID. This has been declared a FEDERAL DISASTER. Your vacation can wait. My heart and funds and donations are headed your way Hawaiʻi, even if I physically am not.
#ad @shebabrandus and @kuleanacoral are doing their part to help regrow the damaged coral reefs in Hawai’i which in turn, will help fish – and cats – thrive. 🪸🐠 You can help #Laulima the next time you visit a reef, by being mindful not to touch ✨OR STEP ON✨ coral to preserve its health and beauty. Corals are fragile animals and can be greatly harmed or even die 🚫 when touched – so hands off!!! Why don’t you… pet your cat instead!!!! 🥰🐈 p.s. thanks Rocco for being a good sport 😂
#ad @shebabrandus and @kuleanacoral are working toward a future with more fish – for cats and humans alike! 😎🥳 Healthy oceans start with healthy coral reefs, which is why we allllll should be taking steps to protect them. 🤙🏼 I’m so excited to be partnering with my new friends, and I encourage you all to practice Laulima and lend a hand to help save our reefs.🙌🏼🪸 One impactful change you can make is using mineral based, reef-safe sunscreen to reduce the amount of harmful chemicals in the ocean! Did you know the state of Hawai’i banned oxybenzone oxtinoxate from their sunscreens in 2021? 🌊🚫 These chemicals are toxic to reefs and… aren’t great for us either. So make the switch to mineral based sunscreens, and stay tuned as I share more eco-tourism tips we all can use to help our oceans thrive!! 🌎✨
Reposting from @bkrvlogs – follow for more on the ground info in Maui.
Our Lahaina residents have suffered enough already. No one should be put in a position to deal with any level of uncertainty for their temporary housing. We need a better system ASAP for long-term contracts for temporary housing here in West Maui for displaced residents. We need a chance to heal, and many of us haven’t had that opportunity yet.
Mahalo @kaleiwaa @original_mama_berrr @rebuildmaui808 for sharing your stories yesterday. Mahalo @makakoamedia for additional footage 🤙🏽

Air Quality Update For Lahaina 9.9.23 | @govjoshgreen please release the Air Quality test results that were done here in Lahaina. I understand those results act as a baseline from weeks ago. But we deserve to see them. We also need consistent updated Air Quality tests being done for our community. No more pointing fingers. Let’s just move forward & get it done. Mahalo
If you have a private connection to an air specialist or someone who can privately test our air here in Lahaina. Please email me at [email protected]
Mahalo @davin.phelpsfilms for filming. The rest of the interview discussing Phase 1 will be released soon 🤙🏽
