News anchor Lori Matsukawa is an award-winning journalist, author, and speaker who spent nearly 40 years at KING TV in Seattle. A trusted voice in Northwest media, she reveals how her childhood in multi-racial Hawai'i and traveling the world as Miss Teenage America led to a career she couldn't imagine. Despite discrimination and disappointment along the way, Matsukawa became the role model she wished she'd had. She helped change what viewers saw on the newscasts that entered their homes. Matsukawa pursued her career at a time when society expected little from a person like her: a female of color from a working-class family who attended Hawai'i public schools. Yet, an astonishing series of events — highlighted by a year representing her country as Miss Teenage America during her senior year in high school — propelled her to keep breaking down stereotypes. Today, she continues to promote civic engagement and share stories to inspire the next generation of journalists. Lori Matsukawa is an award-winning broadcast journalist with more than 40 years in the industry. She retired after 36 years as an anchor and reporter at KING TV in Seattle. Matsukawa received two Northwest Regional Emmy Awards, one in 2017 for her series "Prisoners in Their Own Land" and another in 2018 for "Shane Sato: Portraits of Courage." She is a co-founder of the Seattle Chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association and the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington. Matsukawa is also the author of Brave Mrs. Sato (2023), a contributor to Intersections: A Journalistic History of Asian Pacific America (2025), and Being There: Memoir of an Asian American Journalist, published in April 2026. Mimi Gan is a multiple Emmy Award–winning former KING 5 colleague of Lori's and a longtime reporter and host. She is now the founder of Mi2 Media, where she produces short‑form social‑impact documentaries. Mimi was recently recognized as one of Seattle Magazine's Most Influential People: Equity, received the Stanford University Asian American Alumni Award, and currently serves as a trustee for the Wing Luke Museum and Seattle Children's Theatre.

More than just housing, Arbor 515 gives Salt Lake City residents the opportunity to build a future. The new development, a conversion of a former office building financed by Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), provides housing for residents earning between 25% and 55% of the area median income while also offering a unique opportunity to build equity.According to developer Chris Parker, director of the Perpetual Housing Fund (PHF), most of the building's annual cash flow will be returned to residents. If Arbor 515 is refinanced or sold, residents will also receive direct payments based on the length of time they have lived in their apartments. PHF, a lean non-profit with community-first capital sources, is able to share the majority of all annual cashflow, long-term equity generation, and future refinance/sale proceeds with the residents living in a PHF project.To learn more how this innovative approach is helping low income renters build financial security and explore whether similar ideas could help address Hawaiʻi's housing challenges, please listen Senator Chang and Chris Parker's intriguing conversation!!

This week, we're uplifting a community initiative to create fire-free homesteads with Nā Leo o Papakōlea Firewise in partnership with Kaheāwai Media. Together, they produced the Creating Fire-Free Homesteads civic action toolkit, an extensive multimedia web resource with video clips, templates, and other resources. Noel Shaw and Anuhea Kanealiʻi are members of the Firewise committee of Nā Leo o Papakōlea, the homestead association of Papakōlea, Kewalo, and Kalāwahine homesteads. NLOP Firewise received an Urgent Action Grant in 2024 to support their organizing to make their homesteads a safe and thriving place to live by reducing the risk of wildfire destruction. Tyler Sonnemaker is co-founder and storyteller at Kaheāwai Media, a civic media organization launched in the spring of 2025 that envisions a Hawaiʻi media ecosystem abundant with stories, storytellers and storytelling practices that uplift ʻāina, community, and collective liberation.
