Aloha, my name is Belinda, or better known as my Hawaiian name, Kalani through my adult years. Native Diaspora has been a vision in the making. A journey of learning, unlearning, healing and connecting. As a mixed Kanaka Maoli and Indigenous Mexican woman born in California, I grew up feeling disconnected from my roots. Like many in the diaspora community, I struggled with identity, belonging, and the impact of colonization on my family and self. I've been on a journey to unlearn what I've been shaped and conditioned into believing, and experience, the world through the lens of my kūpuna (ancestors). This is more than a platform, it’s a movement towards autonomy. Through building connection and community, Native Diaspora weaves us together as a people — through storytelling, art, and historical truth.
The stories they should’ve told us in history class — a direct source from the people.
A podcast and merch brand challenging societal norms. Rooted in ancestral wisdom, voyaging back to the source. Where culture is lived, not assimilated: a space to learn, unlearn, and reclaim. Dekālānize, Remālanize, Rewaitalize.
