For this Mauli Ola, we were proud to host Dr. Akiemi Glenn, founder and executive director of the Pōpolo Project to highlight their upcoming youth programs, including Racial Justice Reel Camp for Girls a free and online reel camp for girls during the 2021 Spring Break. A collaboration with the Pōpolo Project and the UHM Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Campus Center, Hawai’i Women in Filmmaking will facilitate conversation on Racial Justice, filmmaking, and produce a short film by the end of the camp.

About the Pōpolo Project 

The Pōpolo Project is a Hawai‘i-based nonprofit organization that redefines what it means to be Black in Hawai‘i and in the world through cultivating radical reconnection to ourselves, our community, our ancestors, and the land, changing what we commonly think of as Local and highlighting the vivid, complex diversity of Blackness
