Video Interview on Olelo TV

So this is a bit late but I was interviewed this past summer by my friend Joachim “Jojo” Peter and filmed by another friend, Leonard “Leni” Leon, for their show “Micronesian Connections.” This is a really awesome show that generally features thoughtful interviews facilitated by Jojo with a focus on Micronesian leaders and Micronesian issues. I have a lot of respect for both Jojo and Leni, who are extremely active in the community here in Hawai’i and are always attempting to make things better for our people. We talked about how I got into poetry, what I believe poetry can do, and also what I’ve been researching about Marshallese chanting and storytelling. To check it out, click the link below:
