One time I had to dance in front of my whole school because I was gonna miss a school performance to go to a soccer tournament and I didn’t take it seriously so my teacher yelled at me in front of the whole school and kicked me out of the gym. Over 15 years later I am daring to dance and leaving my shyness and pride at home. Sorry Kumu Ha’a, but look at me now 😅

Here are the lyrics and the translation:
E nā hoa makamaka o kēia pae ʻāina E maliu mai Na wai e ʻimi aku i ka waiwai ʻO kā kākou ʻōlelo? Ke kākau nei kākou i ko kākou moʻolelo. ʻO nā kūpuna ke Kumu A ʻo mākou nō nā pua o ka ʻōhelo, Ke kūkulu nei ma luna o ke kahua a ke holomua nei me ke alelo.
Mai ke komo ʻana i ka Pūnana Leo Ua komo pū ka haʻaheo I loko o’u, koʻu naʻau, ʻuhane, kino A mau nō ka ʻōlino. He ʻano oli nō kēia, Akā, ʻaʻole ia he mea pilikino. He mea pili kanaka ʻAʻole naʻu, ʻaʻole nāu wale nō, Na kākou e hoʻomaka!
E ʻoli ē, e ʻoliʻoli ē! Pā mai ka makani o kēia naue? Nā mamo hoʻohulu ʻia o kēia au ē? auē! Ua pāpā ʻia ka ʻōlelo, ka hula, ke oli e nā kanaka pākīkē Akā ‘aʻole kākou nā Hawaiʻi i uē. E like me ka maʻamau Ua paio a kūʻē A i kēia lā, ʻoliʻoli ē.
ʻO ka hana ka mea paʻakikī, ka ʻōlelo wale nō ka mea maʻalahi. No laila e makaʻala i nā huaʻōlelo, no ka mea, ʻO ke ohohia he mea lahilahi Inā ʻaʻohe hana me ia pū kekahi
ʻO ka ʻōlelo he kahua Akā ma muli o ka hana e loaʻa mai ka hua
...o ka ʻōlelo.
He Hawaiʻi au, mai poina he Hawaiʻi ʻoe
Ua poina anei ʻoe, ʻo Hawai’i ke kulāiwi? Inā ua mau ke ʻea o ka ʻāina i ka pono Auhea kou kuleana ʻōiwi? Ua kuʻi ē ka lono mai ka mauna a i ke kai Naʻu, nāu? Inā ʻaʻole nāu, na wai? Kēia ʻŌlelo, ʻaʻole ia he mea lako No laila na wai ke kuleana e hoʻomahuahua i ka ʻŌlelo Hawai’i? Ua pane ʻē ʻia. Na kākou.
English:
To my friends of this land, listen up! Who will value the importance of our language? We’re writing our story. Our ancestors are the tree/reason/source, And we’re the flowers of the ‘ōhelo (endemic hawaiian blueberry) Building on the foundation And moving forward with our tongue
From the time I entered Pūnana Leo [pre-school] Pride also entered me. My inner most being, my body and soul And it’s still shining brightly. This is somewhat of a chant But it’s not a private thing, It’s a social thing. Not just for me, not just for you, It’s for all of us to start!
Be happy and joyful! Do you feel the shaking of the wind? The precious descents of this generation… Oh man! The Hawaiian language, the dances, the chants were banned by disrespectful people, But us Hawaiians we didn’t cry. As usual we fought and resisted And today we rejoice!
Work is hard, talk is the only thing that is easy. So beware of your words Because enthusiasm is fragile Without action
Words are the foundation But work will bear fruit [results]…of the language
I’m Hawaiian; don’t forget you’re Hawaiian You must’ve forgotten huh? Hawai’i is our homeland If the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness where is your indigenous responsibility? The word has spread from mountain to sea. If not me, then you? If not you, then who? This language is not abundant So whose responsibility is it to perpetuate the Hawaiian language? It was already answered; it’s ours!

And remember, ALOHA EVERY BODY \m/So Show Me Your Mediakamakadias82020-07-12 | In a world where social media is so prevalent, it’s so easy to succumb to the pressure of putting your best self on screen to create the illusion of perfection. I wrote this a little while after the stay-at-home orders began and I took a tiny break to re-evaluate where I stood with social media and The Race To $50k. When I write, I don’t just express what I’m feeling, but I take what I see in others as well, and use that emotion to tell a story. From trying to be perfect online, to feeling the need to entertain followers for likes, or the idea of trying to suppress your emotions and hide it behind toxic masculinity; it all became so obvious to me once we were forced to stay home and use social media as our only outlet. So if you’re reading this (especially men) please know that it’s ok to feel, it’s ok to have emotions and it’s ok to talk about mental health. Social media is a blessing and a curse; a means to an end. Just be aware of how you’re portraying yourself and think; am I really being my true authentic self or am I just doing this for likes — to be liked? So show me your media and let’s have the discussion 😊⠀
