While serving as Acting Governor, I proclaimed September 2025 as #DigitalAlohaMonth. As Hawai‘i expands internet access through the Connect Kākou initiative, it’s just as important to create safe online spaces and support digital well-being — especially for our keiki and students. 💻🌺

Our Digital Aloha Ambassadors from the Hawai‘i State Student Council (@hawaiistuco) and Hawai‘i Youth Commission (@hawaiistateyc) joined the kickoff and are helping us encourage all residents to use the technology as a tool for connection and positivity.

Let`s act with aloha and create online spaces where kindness, respect, and connection can thrive. Learn more at connectkakou.org.

I had the honor of hosting the 40th Anniversary of Hawai‘i-Okinawa Sister-State Relationship Reception. This year also marks 125 years since the first Okinawan immigrants arrived in Hawai‘i — a milestone that reflects the strength of the Okinawan culture and community in Hawai‘i.

Mahalo to Governor Tamaki and the mayors of the many municipalities across Okinawa Prefecture for joining us in celebration of our enduring partnerships. Your presence was a powerful reminder of the deep ties between our communities. ...

September 2025 is #DigitalAlohaMonth, an initiative to build more positive online spaces and encourage everyone to use the internet and technology as a tool for connection, learning, and positive impact. 📱🤙🏻

In today’s digital world, online spaces can bring unique challenges and pressures. This is especially true for our younger generation, which is why I’m proud to partner with the Hawai‘i State Student Council (@hawaiistuco), Hawai‘i Youth Commission (@hawaiistateyc), Department of Health - Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division (@camhdhawaii), and Department of Education (@hawaiipublicschools) to spread the message of Digital Aloha.

Swipe to see the #PrinciplesofDigitalAloha. Let`s all think about how we can use technology to build kinder, healthier online spaces for ourselves and each other. 🤗💻

Mahalo to the @islandlifehi crew for having me on today to kick off September as #DigitalAlohaMonth! 🛜🎉

As we continue working to make the internet more accessible through #ConnectKakou, we must also ensure we’re using it safely and responsibly. That means showing aloha both in person and online.

@linagirl and @daveydhawaii showed us just how easy it can be to share acts of digital aloha with mahalo texts or posting a positive comment on social media.

Grandma Leslie has been on the DHHL waitlist since 1988. Thanks to the Legislature’s historic $600 million commitment to DHHL back in 2022, her family — along with hundreds of others — is finally moving off the list and one step closer to the home in Hawaiʻi they so rightfully deserve.

Mahalo to Grandma Leslie, Representative Darius Kila, and the Kila Gohier ʻohana for not only your patience, but for being a voice for our West Side communities and for so many of our Native Hawaiian families. ...

All across our islands, bon dances bring people together in celebration of culture and community. As this obon season comes to a close, I’m reminded of how these traditions continue to make Hawaiʻi so special.

Every year, I look forward to the obon season and want to say mahalo to all the volunteers, performers, and dancers who make these special gatherings possible!🏮✨

For some families, free preschool close to home is the best fit — for others, it’s a private provider near work with longer hours. #ReadyKeiki supports public classrooms and private providers, while finding innovative ways to make preschool more accessible for every family.

Mahalo to Civil Beat for inviting me to join their Civil Cafe on Access to Early Childhood Education in Hawaiʻi to talk about our stateʻs work to support our youngest learners and their ʻohana. ...

Hawai‘i may be the most isolated population in the world, but our greatest strength is how we come together to care for one another.

Every day, our state employees work tirelessly to support our ‘ohana and keep our state running smoothly. I had the chance to thank the hundreds of dedicated employees at the Department of Human Services for all that they do.

Spent the morning with @alohaunitedway in Downtown Honolulu! When it comes to addressing Hawaiʻi’s biggest challenges and building thriving communities, it truly is a kākou effort. AUW is one of our state’s leading nonprofits, supporting our ʻohana through health, education, financial stability, and so much more.

Mahalo to AUW for all that you do! To support or learn more about their resources, visit auw.org. ...

August is #NationalCoffeeMonth — and I had the chance to visit @konafarmdirectcoffee, a family-owned coffee farm that has spent the past three decades crafting world-renowned Kona coffee. ☕

Hawaiʻi is proudly the only state in the U.S. to commercially grow coffee — and it’s our farmers, producers, and roasters across the islands, who make our coffee so special.

There’s something so special about Hawaiʻi’s farmers markets 🥑🫶 It’s not just the fresh, local produce—it’s the way our community comes together.

As #NationalFarmersMarketWeek comes to a close, I spoke with Brian at @hawaiifarmbureau about what makes our farmers markets truly unique.

When we launched #ReadyKeiki in January 2023, Wai‘alae Elementary (@waialae) shared that they had a significant preschool waitlist. Now, they’ve doubled their seats—supporting more keiki and families.

Proud to celebrate the opening of a new pre-K classroom at Waiʻalae Elementary Public Charter School, and our state’s continued commitment to make pre-K accessible to all 3- and 4-year-olds. ...

It’s #NationalFarmersMarketWeek! 🥬🍅🥭

I stopped by the @hawaiifarmbureau’s Mililani Farmers Market to check out what’s in season. Farmers markets are a great way to enjoy fresh, local produce and support the hardworking farmers who grow our food.
