“My business started after I experienced a devastating loss. In 2017, I experienced a pregnancy loss a little over halfway through and it was extremely heartbreaking. Through this loss, I felt God lead me to find a creative outlet, which became Mahina Made. After the birth of my son in 2018, this business took on the mission of perpetuating our culture in a way that would inspire my own children as well as other Hawaiian and Polynesian keiki to embrace their culture from an early age and normalize it into their lives. I now run this business as my full time career and have a deep passion for creating products that bring joy to others in meaningful ways.”
“Now, more than before, I feel a deep desire to discover my identity in being Hawaiian and what that means for my future and my family. I aspire to root myself in being Hawaiian and to help my own keiki define that for themselves as well.
Find a passion and follow it. There are so many societal pressures, cultural pressures, familial pressures out there that will try and sway you to choose one way or another. Take the time to reflect on things that are important to you. Discover passions and missions that bring meaning to your life as well as add to the lives of others. Here is where you will find your purpose and let that always be your leading star.”
