Aloha Maoliworld ʻOhana!
My husband and I are undertaking a project called www.packyouraloha.com to help tourists and newcomers to Hawaiʻi understand this place from a Hawaiian perspective. We feel that we are portrayed incorrectly in mainstream media, and other people have spoken for us for too long. We want to interact directly with newcomers to our islands so they will hear and understand us "straight from the horses mouth."
We are by no means experts in everything so we'd love your input, comments, suggestions, etc. We'd love to hear what you as Hawaiians would like people to understand about us and this place.
We'd also like to highlight and support Hawaiian-owned business, Hawaiian organizations, etc. so if anyone has a worthy cause they'd like us to talk about, please let us know!
Hope to see you all at www.packyouraloha.com!
Mahalo!
ʻIhilani
