Every Morning We Rise
is a Honolulu-based LLC dedicated to developing arts projects that support indigenous endeavors and community.
As a producer of events, Every Morning We Rise LLC seeks to connect Kānaka in diaspora with those residing in Hawaiʻi. Census data confirms that since 2020 there have been more Native Hawaiians living in diaspora than there are in the pae ʻāina, so we feel this need is urgent and important.
