Mahalo to everyone who came out for WE Are Kalihi 2026 at Kalākaua Middle School!

It was amazing seeing our Kalihi community come together and connecting with so many service providers who are here to support our keiki, ʻohana, and kūpuna.

The Kendama Battle was definitely a highlight! 🤙🏽

Mahalo to the Kalihi Connection Coalition, all of the participating organizations, volunteers, families, and everyone who helped make this event a success.

Stay tuned for next year’s WE Are Kalihi because it is only getting better! 💛

I joined Operation Clean Sweep’s amazing team of community volunteers to make and toss more than 2,300 Genki Balls into the Salt Lake waterway with the help of .

It was great seeing State House Vice Speaker and so many residents come together to support the health and quality of our Salt Lake waterway.

Later in the month, we came together again at Honolulu Country Club to toss the Genki Balls into the water by arm and slingshot!

It’s always a great time in the district talking story with residents, neighbors, and our Neighborhood Board members.

Mahalo to everyone who continues to mālama our waterways and our community!

I had so much fun welcoming the Mayor and visiting officials from Sakaimachi, Japan, to Honolulu and celebrating our special sister city relationship!

During the visit, we participated in a talk story panel about the shared priorities that connect our communities, including tourism, education, culture, and local environmental efforts. 🤝

The delegation included 36 students from elementary through high school who will be participating in a homestay exchange. I’m especially proud that Makalapa Elementary, Aliamanu Elementary, and Middle School, all in District 7, are among the participating schools! 📚🌏

A special mahalo to Honolulu Fire Department Captain Hanson and Battalion Chief Kamai for sharing the ancient Hawaiian creation story of Papahānaumoku (Earth Mother) and Wākea (Sky Father). It was a meaningful way to kick off their stay in Hawaiʻi, experience our culture, and hear some ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.

Mahalo to our friends from Sakaimachi for visiting Honolulu and continuing to strengthen the bonds between our communities.
