Since my time in the legislature, I have been a strong supporter of @ywcaoahu’s programs that empower and uplift women from all backgrounds.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of joining Charter-Spectrum for the presentation of the Spectrum Employee Community Grant, which will significantly enhance the Ka Hale Ho‘āla Hou No Nā Wāhine re-entry program at YWCA Fernhurst—further helping women reconnect with their families and reintegrate into society successfully.

This kind of community support is essential to building a stronger, more compassionate Hawai‘i.

I`d like to thank the Hawai‘i Children`s Action Network for recognizing me with the inaugural Torch-Bearer Award at their Champions for Children event.

This recognition is truly shared with the incredible partners who have been part of the #ReadyKeiki initiative. From nonprofits, community organizations, businesses, and all levels of government — it’s been a kāko‘o effort to expand access to preschool across our state. This work isn’t just about preparing our keiki for the future; it’s about uplifting our families and building a thriving Hawai‘i for generations to come.

I am honored to be recognized with this award, but even more honored to be able to do this important work. Mahalo nui.

Mahalo to Cisco for bringing together public and private sector leaders to discuss the shared opportunities and challenges facing the IT workforce.

Over 30 years ago, we celebrated the very first Hawai‘i Children & Youth Day—and decades later, uplifting our keiki remains more important than ever. I've been fortunate to meet incredible youth across our state, from #ReadyKeiki preschoolers to high schoolers heading to college. Each one is full of potential and unique gifts, contributing to the richness of our state.

Mahalo to our keiki for the light they bring to our lives. They are the next generation of leaders! 🌟
