Coming back to MAUI was very emotional for all of us 🥹🤎 Headlines always cycle out of the news very fast, and people going through hard times can feel forgotten about. One of my jobs is to make sure Lahaina/Maui is never forgotten - and to bring moments of joy, comfort and smiles as much as I can. The struggle and rebuild of Lahaina/Maui continues, BUT the resilience, strength & PRIDE of our people and culture remains steadfast and inspiring. This is who we are as Kanaka Maoli. Who we are as Polynesians. We protect. We love. We show up. People will always make noise, but in the end, we saw very few come back to make positive things happen. To those that did, we love you and mahalo. Love U back #Maui & #Lahaina - stay strong and I’ll see you soon. #cheehoo #808
