I may not be from Hawaii but as a child born a from Puerto Rican, Haitian background and learned by being immersed in Korean, Japanese, Filipino and Hawaiian cultures it has always been taught to me to simply have Ka Lokomaika`i (“Good Insides”) or a “Pure Heart” and Respect and Accept All.

I think thats why I embraced Hawaii… because you all embraced me. I came an adopted kid with a harsh background of struggling to find acceptance. Trying to even find myself amid the hatred being tossed at me. I found Aloha, Acceptance, Tolerance, a New Family that loved me unconditionally and that was my Na `Ohana o Hawai`i.

It has been 26 years and looking forward to 80 more living in the Aloha Spirit.

Mahalo barley touches how I feel about my Adopted Home.

#Aloha
