The Moana Nui Podcast and the Center for Asian Pacific American Women (CAPAW) are proud to present the topic of "Negotiation" as part of our ongoing monthly professional development series.
Negotiation skills are important both in the workplace and in personal life. In the workplace, they help you achieve long-term career success, boost productivity & reduce workplace conflicts. In your personal life, they boost your creative & reasoning abilities, make it more difficult for people to take advantage of you & make you a better strategist. At home, these skills also help you navigate and bring out the best in your most important relationships.
Discussions include:
- How did you learn to negotiate for yourself?
- When do you feel the most confident in advocating for yourself and how did you do it?
- How do you negotiate with yourself around how much time you devote to work, family, community, etc?

Wednesday May 24, 2023
Wednesday May 24, 2023
The month of May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. During the month of May, the Moana Nui Podcast will host four panels to discuss various topics. Hula is the heartbeat of the people of Hawaii. On this panel, we will approach this conversation from different angles and perspectives, from multiple generations and diverse teaching experiences both in and outside of Hawaiʻi. Our panelists help us to understand the kuleana (responsibility) that comes with preserving and perpetuating our cultural practices and the dangers of appropriation when this sacred responsibility is not handled with care, honor, and respect.Interact, comment, and engage with our conversation with our panelists:• Hokulani Holt-Padilla - Kumu Hula• Kanoelani Davis – Kumu Hula• Michelle Manu – Kumu Lua• Leialoha Kaʻula – Kumu Hula

Priced Out Of Paradise - How Native Hawaiians Are Forced Off Their Homeland
Thursday May 04, 2023
Thursday May 04, 2023
The month of May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. During the month of May, the Moana Nui Podcast will host four panels to discuss various topics.
The first panel is Priced Out of Paradise - How Hawaiians are Forced Off Their Homeland moderated by Moana.
Hollywood and mainstream media puts out beautiful side of Hawaiʻi as an island paradise. While Hawaiʻi is a wonderful place to live, the natives of this land face a lot of challenges in our own homeland that no one ever sees or talks about. While popular films such as Disneyʻs Moana bring more attention the islands, critics have said that films fail to address the actual lives and challenges that Pacific Islanders and the local communities face. It's not all bad. It's not all good. How do we find balance?
Our Panelists
* Kawika Hoke: Writer, Director, and Producer
* Kelly Mackura: Artist and Healer
* Brad Starks: TV/Film Producer, and Fashion Photographer
