Ua hoi mai no au — I'm back!

May 11, 2026
Connect

I've been MIA for almost a year. For those who used to read this newsletter, I just wanted to say — I'm back!

For the past year I was working for a non-profit that took up a lot of my time and energy and I couldn’t continue with Ka Alala. As of this month, I’m 100% back! If you follow me on social media you’ve already seen the content that I’ve been making. Expect more of that soon.

My heart has always been in the learning and teaching of language. I’ve realized recently that I have to put more focus into it. That’s where my passion really is. So thanks for your patience and excuse my absence. I haven’t been this excited about work for a long time. 

I’ve been working on something new! Within the next month or so I’ll be launching a subscription. It will have weekly themes, videos, and challenges and so on. This is to offer a new way for people to learn more olelo. I’ll keep you posted!

Lastly, I’m interested in hearing from you. What do you want to learn? Are you struggling with progressing through one of my online courses? 

Email me back. I'll be selecting one of your emails to write about for a future newsletter.


Hui hou aku no, 

Maluhia

Maui grabbed hold of this Alae and tied it up so it could not escape. He was one step cl...
Maui: A Hawaiian Demigod
Aloha mai, Tomorrow the live action film of Moana releases. When Moana came out in 2016, I was part of many conversations with friends and family. A lot of people were learning for the first time that Maui the demigod is a legend found across many Polynesian islands. This week I thought I would pull the curtain back on a version of Maui from Hawaii. I cannot cover the entire story in one email,...
Maui no ka oi! What It Really Means
Aloha e ka poe kanaka o Maui, I wanted to talk about the phrase Maui no ka oi in hopes of shedding some light on it and helping people avoid misusing it. Ina malihini oe i keia olelo (if you're unfamiliar with this phrase), here are some things to know. It is a phrase about the island of Maui and its people. Those who are proud of being from Maui use it often, and it has been around for a long ...
