Hawaiʻi and Borikén are connected in struggle. They have been for some time. So I wanted to take a moment with my sisters across the world, to share and to hold space on issues that only we understand fully. It is a rare moment in American Society when you can look someone in the eye and they understand the type of oppression you have been subjected to, the type where demanding freedom is labeled "radical." Spiritually, physically and mentally we have been affected by the policies of ownership of indigenous lands and bodies that Congress continues to normalize and even congratulate themselves on. They imposed a fiscal control board over Puerto Rico (translated to Rich port) because we are commodities to the United States of America.And this must change. The US cannot continue to dictate the terms of our enslavement. You do not tell those that you oppress, how you will stop oppressing them. THEY tell YOU.In this episode I sit down with two inspiring women, MYKIE & IHILANI, to talk about history and to talk about what real freedom would look like. More importantly, to say aloud to each other and to all of you that we must fight for a future where are free. Books: A Nation Rising by Noelani Goodyear-Kaʻōpua, From A Native Daughter by Haunani-Kay Trask, Fighting the Battle of Double Colonization by Haunani-Kay Trask,  'Native Hawaiian Law: A Treatise' edited by University of Hawaiʻi law professors Melody MacKenzie, Susan Serrano, and Kapua Sproat, Islanders in the Empire: Filipino and Puerto Rican Laborers in Hawaiʻi’ by JoAnna Poblete Instagram accounts to follow: @Kanaeokana @Puuhuluhulu @ProtectMaunakea Bios: Ihilani Lasconia is a Kānaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiian) poet, student, and organizer from Waimānalo Oʻahu. ʻIhilani is currently a senior at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa majoring in Ethnic Studies.

Jacquelyn Esser is running for DA in Honululu, Hawaii. She was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and moved to Hawaiʻi in 2000 to attend the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. She graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and earned a law degree at the University of Hawai‘i William S. Richardson School of Law. She became a public defender and now is a candidate for prosecutor - one of six in the race. She said, “I am running for Prosecutor because I have seen firsthand how our criminal justice system is failing the people of Hawaiʻi and wasting taxpayer dollars. I am the first deputy public defender to run for Honolulu Prosecutor. I know how broken our criminal justice system is and I know how to fix it.” She discusses the unique issues facing Hawaii, but also the systemic problems. She says: “We need to focus on prosecuting corruption and violent crimes, while diverting low-level offenders into treatment. We need to reduce our jail and prison population through bail reform and community-based treatment, give our children the resources they need to succeed, and bring the highest ethical standards to the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney.”

Wednesday, January 8th 8:00PM Eastern/ 5:00PM Pacific The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Andrea Freeman. An Associate Professor at the University of Hawaii'i at Manoa William S. Richardson School of Law, Freeman is a White Woman who examines White Supremacy food policy, health and consumer credit. We'll investigate her 2020 publication, Skimmed: Breastfeeding, Race and Injustice. 3-time C.O.W.S. guest Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body, provides a hearty endorsement on the rear book jacket. Freeman reveals the deliberate campaign to discourage black mothers from breastfeeding their children. Numerous White scientists around the globe and for decades have unanimously agreed that breastfeeding is the optimal nutritional source for young babies. Skimmed details the sad history of the Fultz quadruplets, a set of identical black baby girls born in the 1940's in North Carolina. The Pet Milk conglomerate along with White doctors ran experiments on these children and ultimately stole all four girls from their black parents to make them the focal point of an advertising campaign to promote synthetic formula to black mothers. This racist scheme continues to affect the disparity between the number of White mothers who breastfeed as oppose to black mothers who are "steered" towards something lesser. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision INVEST in The C.O.W.S. – paypal.me/TheCOWS The C.O.W.S.

We talk about his time at the William S.

And if you're near Kaimuki or Kahala mall, you'll dig his restaurant shoutouts: Assagio's, 12th Avenue Grill, Big City Diner (#NoDinerFiner), and Pearl's Korean BBQ PS: He gave out his cell number on-air, Mike Jones style -- give him a call!

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Jacqueline Molnar, Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer at Western Union. Jacqueline has 20 years of experience as an attorney and compliance officer, focusing on AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism), sanctions, anti-bribery/corruption, consumer protection, fraud, and litigation defense. Her discussion with Jan and Jim unpacks Jacqueline’s tools of leadership and lessons she has learned along the way. Jacqueline values the diversity and ability of her worldwide team, pushing them to play to their strengths, with camaraderie and fun, always following the company mission. Listen in to learn principles of fearless leadership, backed up with a balance of confidence and humility.   Key Takeaways [3:23] Jacqueline found the last Crucible expedition in Moab, Utah to be personally transformational — she now makes it a point to get buy-in from her leadership team for big decisions. [5:15] The purpose of the Crucible is to find out how you show up as a leader, completely out of your comfort zone. The adverse environment brings out your core character. [10:32] How to recognize and model for everyone that you don't know what to do in every circumstance, that you're vulnerable, and you're learning. [15:20] Jacqueline suggests giving a strength evaluation to company leaders to figure out what they do best, and then letting them go toward their strengths. [17:29] How Jacqueline leads her team and advocates for them so that they can do what they need to do. [19:19] Why having a diverse staff, especially in an international corporation, is natural and crucial. [20:58] It's important to look at your organization and see where you have gaps in your diversity — Are you recruiting for people who think differently? [31:07] In order to lead you need to have a crystal-clear vision of where you're headed, and communicate that very simply and very often, and then be completely, utterly, fearless and relentless about getting there. [40:01] Why workplace camaraderie is critical and that playfulness is also a key leadership attribute.     Books Mentioned on the Show The Littlest Green Beret: On Self-Reliant Leadership, book by Jan Rutherford   Bio Jacqueline Molnar, SVP and Chief Compliance Officer at Western Union in Denver, has spent 20 years as an attorney and compliance officer.

On this episode, I share some of these updates with a segment I call “NextGen Natives in the News.” This is a mini roundup of things I’ve come across recently that I think is worth sharing with NextGen Natives. NextGen Native has been around about a year and a half. In that time, we’ve heard stories from many amazing people in Indian Country. The fun part about building this network of NextGen Natives is to see the amazing things that previous guests continue to do, and learn about cool things that others are doing who are good candidates to get on the show. Jared Yazzie Jared Yazzie created OXDX clothing. Recently he was featured on a story by KJZZ radio station in Phoenix. The story discussed the growth of Native fashion generally and Yazzie’s work specifically. It includes both audio and print. Jessica Metcalfe & Beyond Buckskin Another leader of the fashion movement in Indian Country is making waves. Jessica Metcalfe, founder of BeyondBuckskin, the online fashion boutique and blog is opening a retail storefront in Belcourt, ND. The store will also include space for artists. The grand opening is May 7. This is so cool! Lawyers in the News Nikke Alex is a third-year law student at the University of New Mexico. She will graduate this Spring. Earlier this week, Nikke shared that she is receiving an award from the school during graduation. It’s great to see that someone that balanced her academics, work, personal projects, and more is being recognized for her accomplishments. Congratulations, Nikke! The other legal news is from someone I have not met, but their awesome news  is worth sharing. Kamaile Turcan is Hawaiian and is a graduate of the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaii-Manoa. Beginning this Summer, she will begin her term as a clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. This is huge! Supreme Court clerks often play a significant role in  first drafts of the decisions rendered by the court, or at least informing their judge’s thinking on key issues. It’s a great achievement for Turcan and a cool opportunity for the court to be exposed directly to someone with Native ancestry. Heading to GON? Consider Rezilience Event This weekend, ABQ is the place to be. If you’re attending Gathering of Nations be sure to check out the art event Rezilience. The event is being organized by, among others, Warren Montoya I believe. Warren held a similar event last year and this one seems to be bigger.
