I discuss the impact of these crises on vulnerable populations, especially children, and the significance of advocating for LGBTQ rights during an election year that could shape the future of human rights. The episode emphasizes the importa...

Join me while I speak with Keola. Keola is a part of my ʻohana as well as my self-appointed Kumu of all things ʻŌlelo and Native culture. Although she is young enough to be my own child, she is wise beyond her years. Nothing said here is medical advice. This is just the lived experience of those within a community. *Discretion is advised as we may touch on sensitive topic matter. If you are strugg...

Join me as we take a dive into straight FACTS, with Dr Sorrentino. She is the cake to my frosting of humor and wild antics; my soul sister. I’ve never had a conversation with someone on the exact same page as I. I have so much left out audio, there’s a second episode for a rainy day!
