A big mahalo and ho'omaika'i to API Chaya! Mahalo for inviting Huraiti Mana to celebrate with you at your very special, warm, and welcoming gala and congratulations on such a successful fundraising event! API Chaya, with its amazing donors and family, was able to raise over $340,000 to support survivors at their annual Gala on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at The Westin Seattle. 

The theme of this year's Gala: "We Believe Survivors." API Chaya serves and provides resources for survivors of violence and exploitation - they center survivors' "dignity, autonomy, and leadership" in all the work they do. API Chaya served 785 survivors and their dependents (families) and trained over 12,000 service providers, community, and faith leaders in 2018 alone. 

Huraiti Mana is blessed to be a part of an amazingly supportive, loving, and caring community. We hoped to bring to their event a cause for celebration, and excitement for life, body positivity and ownership, and a joy that transcends across all cultures, with the joy of dance. Mahalo nui loa for inviting us into your home, your mission, and your community. E Mālama Pono!

Huraiti Mana at Te Ori Here 2019

4/8/2019

 
Picture
Huraiti Mana's first time joining Te Ori Here solo dance competition featuring Sefa Drums as the house drummers! Our idols! As expected, Sefa drumbeats were electric and truly intensified our performance! We're so happy to have had the opportunity to dance live to these amazingly talented and creative drumming masters, especially after hearing their Moemoea album for so long.

This was one of our Huraiti's first-ever solo competition, and we're so immensely proud of her! She flew a red-eye flight from Seattle to San Fransico after emceeing a late-night event, spent the night at the airport, and flew in hot-off-the-press Saturday morning straight into the competition! DEDICATION! We've found that traveling for solo competitions can be difficult, but workshops, meeting new dancers, and competing, can be so incredibly rewarding! Eci and I made it to finals but didn't bring in the top 3 in our categories this time! Mahalo and mauruuru to all those who work so diligently to create an amazing event.
