Meet the remarkable Michelle Manu, a trailblazing figure who holds a unique distinction as the first female fully qualified Lua martial artist in 200 years. But her journey goes beyond martial arts. In a captivating resume that reads like that of a superhero, Michelle boasts a 26-year legal career, Harvard Business School Education, a Master’s degree in Metaphysical Science, and a multifaceted career as a professional actress, martial artist, and dancer.

Beyond her accomplishments, Michelle is a fierce advocate for women, a dedicated self-defense trainer, a passionate promoter of Hawaiian culture, and a Knight Commander of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I (O’ahu Chapter). Her charisma and passion shine as she embodies the spirit of empowerment and cultural preservation.

In this episode, we delve into the recent tragic events in Hawaii, exploring the impact of racism and colonialism on the islands and examining the self-inflicted wounds left by former royal rulers. Join us for a candid assessment of the 50th state, as we navigate its complex past, present, and glimpse into the hopeful future.
