Next week we launch our 4th Digital Creators @purple_maia course with in-person programming in Puna Due to the support of Hawaiʻi County, we’re now able to provide all Puna based students with a $500 stipend to take our course We’ve been lobbying for years to achieve this
Tonight we gather at the @purple_maia offices at Hālau ʻĪnana on Oʻahu. Join us for these ongoing conversations on ea, building economic sovereignty for our people & the return of our lands. Still time to register: eventbrite.com/cc/malama-desi…
Checked in on the Lahaina Strong kiaʻi holding the line at Kaʻanapali Beach for 83 days. The hope is for the mayor to place a moratorium on short term rentals on Maui by March 1. The crew here is the tip of the spear fight housing shortages & insecurity across Hawaiʻi. Mahalo 🙏🏽
Started my weekend in Hālawa Valley, Molokai where we once spread my great grandmother’s ashes. Oli & pule were offered & the ho’ailona presented made me feel very close to the kūpuna of my ʻohana who are still very present in the valley.
She supplies Friendly Market & other Molokai retailers. Her micogreens are a hit, as she’s found a niche where she is not directly competing with Maui farmers or other imports. It’s important to be mindful that neighbor island expansion onto Molokai threatens local producers

Kāʻu coffee is some of the best in the world given its unique terroir: rich volcanic soil on the slopes of Mauna Loa, constant rain, fresh water & elevation 🌋 hawaiianmonarchcoffee.com
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs today announced the recent appointments of four lāhui leaders who will serve as directors on its executive leadership team. Each new director brings experience and expertise in their respective fields. More oha.org/news/oha-fills…
The Studio focuses on economic acceleration (EA) & provides 9 months of essential services in graphic design, website support, branding, social media management & digital storytelling.
Mālama Design Studio aims to foster collaboration among these organizations, building a network that contributes to the economic development of the Kanaka ‘Ōiwi community.
It includes a diverse group of Native Hawaiian small businesses & nonprofits across the Hawaiian islands, representing various sectors such as tech, health & wellness, food systems, education, hana noʻeau, physical marketplaces, housing solutions & Native Hawaiian land rights
Am excited to announce our 2024 @Malama_Studios cohort, a @purple_maia program We focused on empowering ʻŌiwi practitioners engaged in mahi ʻai, lāʻau lapaʻau, and hana noʻeau, with a special emphasis on educational initiatives that perpetuate multi-generational ʻike kupuna.
Mālama Design Studio is an accelerator for Native Hawaiian organizations rooted in 'Ōiwi values. We’re thrilled to announce our support for 10 Native Hawaiian small businesses and 5 non-profits for Cohort 2. @Malama_Studios
Tonight we gather at the @purple_maia offices at Hālau ʻĪnana on Oʻahu. Join us for these ongoing conversations on ea, building economic sovereignty for our people & the return of our lands. Still time to register: eventbrite.com/cc/malama-desi…
Checked in on the Lahaina Strong kiaʻi holding the line at Kaʻanapali Beach for 83 days. The hope is for the mayor to place a moratorium on short term rentals on Maui by March 1. The crew here is the tip of the spear fight housing shortages & insecurity across Hawaiʻi. Mahalo 🙏🏽
@purple_maia We’ll never be able to properly address the increasing challenges climate change, settler colonialism & the increasing displacement our people of Hawaiʻi are facing until we the end of the illegal military occupation on sovereign Hawaiian lands The ʻāina of Piʻilani holds strong
Mahalo to the great spirit of Molokai for guidance & recentering on this work. Reminded why it’s so important to fight for our land. Tonight we host an info session on Maui, please join if you can! All are welcome to join our conversation on Building ea & economic sovereignty
Was nice to spend time with ʻohana & hear stories of my grandma & her siblings growing up as kolohe kids from the community. I did want to advocate on behalf of my cousins who play pickle ball a few times a week that the tennis courts need to be redone & a bathroom added
While Molokai is committed to not expanding their tourism industry, building a local business & economy can be tough. Our intention is to spend more time in person listening to community, offering kōkua & identityijg ways we can offer growth opportunities & build more local jobs
We hosted an in-person info session for Mālama Design Studio & spent time hearing directly from Hawaiian business owners on the challenges they faced, especially being based on Molokai, where pricing to ship inventory for outer island markets can be prohibitively expensive.
Also met with a friend Momi Afelin who just graduated with a masters from Harvard where she studied nutrition & planetary health. Her research on food insecurity & her survey of 300+ Molokai subsistence hunters & gatherers is an impressive data set. hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/…
She supplies Friendly Market & other Molokai retailers. Her micogreens are a hit, as she’s found a niche where she is not directly competing with Maui farmers or other imports. It’s important to be mindful that neighbor island expansion onto Molokai threatens local producers
Really enjoyed visiting Auntie Donna of Pualei Farm. A former nurse, Auntie Donna has transformed her homestead into a garden, producing beautiful leafy greens & has set up a micogreens operation in a shipping container on her property. Her hope is to teach others how to farm.
It’s been my mission to return to the community of Molokai & offer kōkua. In this moment, launching support for the small Native Hawaiian business of & nonprofits & begin to set seeds for longer term educational programs on island is a start.
Molokai is a special island that must be protected at all costs. The mana of the people & the land is present in every moment there. My Puna, Earline Manono McGuire, loved this island with all of her heart. It greatly affected my childhood & early development of ʻŌiwi indentity
Started my weekend in Hālawa Valley, Molokai where we once spread my great grandmother’s ashes. Oli & pule were offered & the ho’ailona presented made me feel very close to the kūpuna of my ʻohana who are still very present in the valley.
We had a great info session on Thursday in Hilo on our Mālama Design Studio program. It’s great to connect with Native Hawaiian founders & community organizers in person to discuss the challenges we face & how we can support each other. Join us Tuesday on Molokai!
