Long Live The Fupa! lol. We choppin it up with Lupe Katoa about her live video, how life has been after going viral, and what it's been like to have a hefty size of humble pie. Lupe recently went live at the Donna Marie concert and was talking hella shit. She claimed to have wasted her outfit and called a group of women who were living their best lives ugly, pathetic, grenades. Her video was then leaked and went viral. The internet was relentless and tore her up, called her all kinds of names, made hella memes about her, and called her out threatening her with violence. After a week of being put through the wringer, one of the women who was in the video, Kaveinga, reached out to Lupe to address the issue like adults. They sat down, reconciled, and Lupe issued out an apology. The situation took an unexpected turn for the better that changed the momentum of the whole ordeal.

We are humbled and honored to chop it up with Director, Na'alehu Anthony, about the new film, Moananuiakea, and his kuleana (one's personal sense of responsibility) as a filmmaker. "Mālama Honua" is simply translated as "to care for our island earth" but the Hawaiian language is beautiful and complex. Mālama Honua means to take care of and protect everything that makes up our world: land, oceans, living beings, our cultures, and our communities. It means learning from the lessons of islanders to take care of your limited resources, as though you were living on a canoe in the open ocean or an island in the middle of the sea. On a canoe, water, food, plants, and other basic needs are in limited supply and are tended to with great care; so too we must tend to our resources on islands, and for all of Island Earth. Moananuiakea celebrates the historic Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage aboard the Hokule'a that connected countless individuals and communities from around the globe. This voyage also represented the fulfillment of the vision of Nainoa Thompson and his contemporaries, the passing of the mantle of celestial navigation to the next generation of Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) who will retain the skills of their ancestors and perpetuate this tradition for generations to come.
