Hawaiians in Los Angeles

I am so unbelievably proud of our good friends Nani (Lessa) and Christian because the book they wrote is officially on sale at Amazon!  In my head, I think I have always put authors and actors up on this pedestal for being artistic and “cool;” well it makes sense because the are both.  Their book is titled “Hawaiian in Los Angeles” and is getting released May 14, 2012, but you can pre-order you copy now!  Below is a little synopsis of their book:

“Los Angeles is recognized as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States. Due to opportunities in the entertainment and aerospace industries, as well as easy access to the city’s busy ports, Los Angeles remains an attractive destination for people from around the world. Since the 1960s, Native Hawaiian families have taken part in this migration to Los Angeles, bringing their unique culture as well as heartbreaking stories of loss of their ancestral homeland. Approximately 8,500 Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders currently live within the city of Los Angeles and continue to retain a great pride for their ancestors and the contributions that have made them who they are today.”

There will be book release events and book signings in Southern California and as we get closer to May, I will let you all know!  Congrats Nani and Christian; we love you and are so proud of you!
