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.

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.

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to walk in the Annual Historic Kōloa Plantation Days Parade on Kauaʻi. The floral floats, vintage cars, and decorated vehicles showed the unique history and heritage of Kauaʻi’s plantation towns. We even had the chance to hand out tomato plants to the community!

Mahalo to the Kōloa Plantation Days Committee for bringing the community together and organizing such a meaningful celebration of Kōloa’s rich cultural legacy. ...

Hawaiʻi’s agriculture industry is full of opportunity — not just to feed our local communities, but to share our unique, high-quality products with the world. Bananas, limes, and avocados are just a few of the crops that thrive here year-round. With fewer export restrictions, Hawaiʻi could become a national leader in specialty crop exports.

We’ll continue working with the @usdagov and our local farming community to build a more thriving Hawaiʻi.

Agriculture is part of what makes Hawaiʻi so special. This weekend, I joined the 59th Annual Hawaiʻi State Farm Fair in Whitmore Village to celebrate our local farmers, ranchers, and agricultural leaders with fresh produce and plants, farm animals, and keiki-friendly activities. 🐮🌱

Mahalo to @hawaiifarmbureau, @hdoainfo, @hawaii4h, @uluponoinitiative, and @hfahawaii for hosting such a fun and meaningful event highlighting the importance of Hawaiʻi’s agriculture sector. ...

It's always a pleasure welcoming visitors from across Hawaiʻi, and even from around the world, to my office. From students and community leaders to international partners, each group brings unique perspectives and experiences.

Mahalo to these groups for the meaningful conversations, cultural exchange, and commitment to strengthening the ties that make Hawaiʻi so special.
