Talk Story: Finding ʻohana in Pasifika and Diaspora

You are cordially invited to a talk-story event that is sponsored by Netflix and held in association with an upcoming original film by the popular streaming service.

“Talk Story: Finding ʻOhana in Pasifika and the Diaspora” will be held at 11 a.m. HST Saturday, Jan. 23, via Zoom.

I will facilitate a conversation with Pacific Islander leaders about the importance of ʻohana and storytelling in our communities. The event is a discussion related to the family-friendly action-comedy, “Finding ʻOhana,” which is scheduled to premiere Friday, Jan. 29, on Netflix.

The movie is set during the summer in rural Oʻahu and tells the story of two Brooklyn-raised siblings.

These kids return home to Hawaiʻi and get in touch with their Hawaiian heritage and roots. The main character, Pili, aspires to become a Hawaiian scientist when she grows up.
