Welina me ke aloha, my name is Kahealani Hamakua, I am originally from Molokaʻi but now reside on the island of Kauaʻi, I am a mother of 5, a cultural practitioner, an entrepreneur and a Kumu for Ka ʻOhā, a ʻOhana Learning Centered program geared towards homeschooling families. Our vision and mission through Ka ʻOhā, is to empower families to educate and be grounded through teachings in the Native Hawaiian culture and language.
I am ever so grateful for Kawai for allowing me to be featured on her podcast. My hope is to encourage all to learn your native language and/or another language, because through language you will then have a better understanding of the world and your life. I am a true believer that through your native language you will have a better understanding of self identity, who you are and where you come from. Then you will truly understand your purpose and kuleana in this life.
Nui ke aloha a mahalo iā ʻoukou pākahi āpau, e ola nō ka ʻŌlelo Makuahine! E ola!
