    Hapa Happy Hour, episode 37

    Our last (?) episode of Hapa Happy Hour. We discuss how we began this podcast, what we're doing now, and what we hope for. Rena has accomplished a new degree, Lisa has continued success with "Alien Citizen" on DVD, and Hiwa tells of her travel to Scotland- "cold Hawaii". We sure do appreciate you, our audience, and always welcome your comments: hapahappyhour@gmail.com. Aloha.

    The Falacy of the Mixed-race Utopia and the Women's March Revisited

    Hello, dear Listeners! We are back with a new episode! As we head into what this new year has in store for us and our country, we felt it apropos to revisit our experiences in the first historic Women's March in 2017. It was profound for me listening to this episode again, and it filled me with a new hope for 2019. I hope it does the same for you. We wish you a beautiful holiday filled with joy and peace for you and the ones you hold dear. All good things, always, Rena with Hiwa and Lisa xo
