Now that I've had time to process all that went on at the Gathering of the Daughters of the Pacific last night, I have comments but also questions.
Sandra Creamer's was my fave, because I love law and a strong confident woman who talks law. She fought and saw battles fought in the courtroom without an end in sight. How hard, disappointing, & discouraging it must've been. But by doing that in numbers, you lay the framework.

I could've listened to her talk with that accent all day lol. I loved her answer to my question. The hard truth of it is we need to raise more attorneys who want to fight for our rights without an end in sight. We need more Julian Aguons. We need to bring together these skills.

And then Ms. Mililani Trask. Daaang. Those tattoos. That chanting lilt. The beautiful Hawaiian language. I am in awe of her presence. Her points I feel, were the most powerful. We are all one Pasifika people from small islands, united by a vast sea that colonized minds can't see.

The question asked by Joanie Kerr at the end was powerful but more like a plea. Her voice wavered. I wish the response could have been more solid. Reunification of our islands that have been torn by colonial powers can only happen with the younger generation in power I feel.
