Congratulations from Cambodia! I lived in Hawai'i for 9 years mostly on the Waianae side, but Kahuku, Hauula has a place in my heart too. I stayed at the beach there some of the time when I was homeless and visited again after I published bilingual Hawaii-English books. Wonderful place and so nice to see this celebration.
such a beautiful journey, i hope he lives a long, healthy life... he is here to inspire us to be better humans, to lead with our hearts and vulnerability.. may Kahuna IAM live forever!!!
IAM I KNEW FROM THE SECOND I HEARD YOU SING IN YOUR AUDITION THAT YOU WERE GOING TO WIN . YOUR FATHER WAS WITH YOU THE WHOLE JOURNEY I COULD SEE HIM I COULD HEAR HIM . YOU SING AND IT BRINGS A SMILE TO MY FACE ..CONGRATS YESSIR
I feel Iams dad would have given him the world... And I think this is his way of doing it even though he couldn't stay longer.🦋 Forever praying for you and your family Iam. You make us all proud!! Stay true to yourself, and stay happy.. Everything will be alright. Much love from Missouri❤❤
The lady talking in the interview at 2:45 is the same lady I watched in a video where Jason Momoa had came to town and they are doing a sit-down asking questions and she stood up
Congratulations Iam! Totally proud and happy for you. It’s a new journey for you so use it well. It’s a blessing , a god given gift. Good luck and many blessings always ✨✨❤️✨✨

Man it’s insane how connected the entire race is. It reminds me of my own race to a certain extent. We all have each others backs, the ones that arnt doing stupid shit at least.
Ok....which air carrier will flip over tickets to the Tongi ohana and to Mayor Rick, when is the downtown parade? dont make it at waikiki......I refuse to get ripped off by parking rates!!!
