What Does It Mean to Be White in Hawaii? | Podcast Hawaii Episode 22

Derek Okahashi Episode 22

Join us for a candid conversation that tackles a real and often uncomfortable question: What does it mean to be white in Hawaii?

This isn't a history lecture or a callout session. It's an honest, reflective discussion between friends—one born and raised in the islands, and two who moved here at different points in their lives. We talk about what it means to show up with awareness, how whiteness interacts with local culture, and why true belonging requires much more than just a zip code.
