In the summer of 2018, my partner Spencer and I inherited the reins of Mixing Innovative Arts (MIA) Honolulu, a monthly reading and literary arts series. This was my first reading at MIA as a co-organizer. The theme of the event was around politics, and I read a satirical piece I had recently published in Honolulu Civil Beat. It was a fun night with more laughter than heated discussion, and I was delighted to share the stage with fellow Hawai’i writer/politician Sonny Ganaden and Hawai’i poet D. Keali’i MacKenzie.

I will be reading for a hot minute with my fellow Ms. Aligned 2 contributors at the Hawai'i Book and Music Festival! This annual 2-day festival at Honolulu Hale is free and features both local and visiting writers (plus Steve from Blues Clues.) In addition to sharing a panel with Lillian Howan, Adele Ne Jame, Pat Matsueda, and Angelia Nishimoto, I'm also looking forward to seeing panels with the following presenters: Matthew Zapruder, William Finnegan, Jaimie Gusman, Tyler McMahon, Dana Naone Hall, Susan Schultz, and Bamboo Ridge's Aloha Shorts performers. Click here to view the complete schedule and catch us at the Makai Authors Pavilion at 11am Sunday!

I had the pleasure of reading again with the fine folks of Mixing Innovative Arts (MIA) Honolulu at The Manifest. 

I was fortunate enough to read with Henry Wei Leung and Karlo Mila as part of the Na Mea Hawai'i Reading Series hosted by Tinfish Press and Na Mea/Native Books. Mahalos to Susan Schultz for the invitation.

I gave a public reading in Honolulu hosted by Mixing Innovative Arts (MIA) with fellow writers No'u Revilla and Spencer Kealamakia. Mahalos to Joseph Han for the invitation and to The Manifest for the libations. 

I was so happy to share this milestone reading with Kristin Inciardi and my dear friends in Greensboro, North Carolina. This beautiful poster was designed by Cecilia Payseur.
