In Search Of (ISO) (he mau – many) māmā aloha ʻāina

This seems so obvious in some ways, but here we go!

There comes a time when enough is enough, and we make that change, that commitment, take that action to do something. I think I have been there for longer than I let myself realize, but was also simultaneously trying to set the kāhua.

With that said…

Are you a mākuahine? Do you aloha ʻāina? Do you care about the future Hawaiʻi for our keiki and generations to come?

If you answered yes to the above, let’s ban together to join our māmā aloha ʻāina power for our keiki.

Why mākuahine? As mākuahine, māmā, we have a distinct sense of urgency to make space, be safe, for our keiki. And let’s not forget about ourselves!

Aloha ʻāina – this comes in many forms, and is likely a lifelong journey. But perhaps the most important tenet here is that we acknowledge ʻāina (not only land, but also wai, kai, all encompassing) and continue to develop our pilina with ʻāina.

I don’t have any specific actions in mind right now, other than us coming together and developing a network of māmā who I know will be able to create change that we seek in whatever spaces we are holding. This is yet another unique quality about being a māmā: we do it all! As a fellow māmā reminded me, the Hawaiʻi we have today is what it is because people stood up to protect her.
