We bring attention to cultures and not brands. We bring attention to indigenous people, not only women and men. Our art is from within, we draw to advocate - not for hype or money.

Our history, our culture, has been hidden for way too many years and there’s an opportunity for me to speak about it - I will and I have. Some of you may not even know our Hawaiian history. Power tripping will not push me to bend, I am a Native Hawaiian woman - I deserve my voice
A Native Hawaiian elder once told me
“Share with them, share so they know, and share so they stand with us”

3. It comes in a match box. Possibly to light my #uterus on fire.

It’s the part where they spit on abortion, take away tribal sovereignty, and doesn’t care about climate change.
I know y’all are building rockets to Mars now, but chill out for a second.
