Graduate Student, SocDoc Program
Research Interests:
Three sisters – Miki, Uilani, and Sheila – reconnect to their heritage when they empower themselves and build community through their work at the MA`O Organic Farms in the community of Wai`anae in O`ahu, Hawai`i. Its groundbreaking youth leadership program combines a revival of precolonial Hawai`ian food practices with a path to a college degree. MA`O offers all three a way to escape from stereotypes of underachievement into an environmentally – and socially – sustainable future for their family and community.
