Aloha! My name is Emily Akau and I’m a senior this year. This is my first year in Ka Mōʻī but I am excited to expand my experience as a writer and delve into the world of journalism. I was born in Waimea, Hawaii and raised in Kawaihae under clear blue skies. On the weekends, I enjoy procrastinating with my friends at the beach and writing flash fiction about spooky Hawaiian stories and childhood dreams. If I had one wish in this life, I would wish for the chance to walk among the stars. I’m a total astrology geek and very allergic to ignorance or stupidity. My advice for anyone struggling with their identity is to try everything till something feels right.
