Moana Nui Podcast Moana Nui

The Moana Nui podcast delves into the complexities of Hawaiian identity and the question many resonate with: ”Am I Hawaiian enough?”. We are joined by the vibrant advocate and CEO of Papa Ola Lokahi, Sherry Daniels, who elaborates on the concept of ’Hawaiian Enough’ and shares her own journey of grappling with identity, imposter syndrome, and the power of community support.

In this episode of the Moana Nui Podcast, we sit down with Sheri Daniels, CEO of Papa Ola Lōkahi, a pioneering organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Sheri shares her leadership journey and sheds light on the unique health challenges facing Indigenous communities in Hawaii and across the Pacific. From disparities in access to healthcare to cultural barriers in wellness practices, she discusses the multifaceted approach required to address these issues effectively.
