Kumumea has been my light through the dark.

What began as my healing has become a journey of purpose — to build a future I’m proud of.

Every step I take is for my keiki, our story, and the community that’s walked with me.

Today, our journey is about more than just us — it’s about uplifting and inspiring others through resilience, culture, and love.

We rise together.
