It’s been over a years long journey having Ka’ahumanu on my brain, and she will always have a special place in my heart. The weight of this kuleana has tested me in SO many ways as an artist and as a wahine, but I am beyond grateful for this profound experience. Mahalo Ka’ahumanu for coming into to my life and finding me, but most importantly teaching me your mana. Mahalo to our creators for trusting me to be a part of this wonderful ensemble of artists, and sharing your beautiful culture with us and soon the world. Here’s to everyone who was a part of this mammoth (and turbulent 😂) journey in Hawai’i and Aotearoa, we did it. 👏🏽 I can’t believe all the wonderful humans I got to meet through this. Big shout out to the hammah team @awaiauluinc who spent hours & hours away from their ‘ohana teaching us cast ‘Ōlelo Hawai’i and the mo’olelo. This was the biggest gift. And to @thepuamohalas my coach & sister, you pushed me so hard and held my hand throughout this whole journey, I share this role with you. Left it all out on the court for your kūpuna, and I will hold these special souls who guided me through this 4lyf. To my family and friends who were so patient with me thank you and love you. On to the next journey. A hui hou ❤️ – Luch xx #chiefofwar

Mālo ‘aupito @goldhouseco for my first Gold Gala. 🌟 The imposter syndrome of being an A100 honouree was real, but to be embraced by the AAPI community out here is pretty dang special. Congrats to all the inspiring honourees and @bingchen for a wonderful event🙏🏽
Thank you @peakpasifika for always championing me in every milestone and bridging the gap for Pasifika artists in these spaces, when historically PI was included in the acronym but not in the conversation. Your work doesn’t go unnoticed. I share it all with you fam. 🫶🏽🌊
Finally, my wonderful glam team who managed to pull this killer look together over a txt group chat! DEAD. Only trying on a dress 3hrs before the event after I got on the earliest flight I could from a full week of night shoots 🫠 thank you for taking care of me, giving me a full on Princess diaries makeover making me look less sleep deprived 😘 y’all are all magicians I swear.
And finally, to my darling manager (who’s not on insta but I’ll say it anyway) thank you for being the biggest ally for the past 7 years of working together. You’ve pushed down doors to get me here and we still have so much left to do my girl. Thank you for sharing this special night with me. 💕
Off to finish S2…
Happy AAPI month. All eyes on Rafah. Love you mum, happy Mother’s Day. You’re my world. X
