SECRETS TO SUCCESS THIS WEEK ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE

Mahalo to our overseas viewers, especially in Asia, who have expressed their aloha this past week for the start of our second season of Voices Of Truth - One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future. We appreciate your mana`o `olu`olu (pleasant comments.)

MONDAY, June 27th - On Na Leo Television, channel 54, on both sides of Hawai'i island at 7:00 PM.

"Guardians Of The Light - A Visit With Peter Jensen." A brand new segment for our Hawai`i island viewers, Peter recounts how he, as a Hawaiian, witnessed the wholesale destruction of Makua Valley by the US military.

He also reveals that he and his family would have had land taken away had mandatory lease-hold conversion succeeded in Honolulu earlier this year.

As he did some soul-searching to discover what his role would be to help stop the desecration and theft, he found himself transforming from potential victim to telling the stories to others as an award winning producer for `Olelo television on `Oahu.

Don't miss this powerful and moving new segment as Peter recounts the effect it had on him of witnessing the destruction of his family's `aumakua by the Makua Valley fires. We promise a powerful and lasting impact on all who watch.

WEDNESDAY, June 29th - On Akaku, Channel 53 at 6:30 PM.
"Coming Out And Overcoming - A Visit With Hinaleimoana Wong."
For our Maui and Moloka`i viewers, another of our brand new second season segments.

Hina Wong is not only a charter schoolteacher, powerful cultural practitioner of hula and chanting, but also a role model whose path, as transgender, has been uniquely different.

Hina shares with us the obstacles she overcame in order to find not only herself, but her place of active involvement and contribution in creating a better Hawai`i.


Hina reveals how courage and commitment are key to overcoming most anything. A truly inspirational segment to watch!

THURSDAY , June 30th - On Ho`ike, Channel 52 at 8:30 PM.
Because we've had so many requests to repeat this one for our Kaua`i viewers, here it is - "Standing Up For Independence - A Visit With Dr. Hanalei Vierra, PhD."


Hanalei shares with us his experience of being the voice for Hawaiian Independence at OHA's Kau Inoa meeting in San Diego, California.

Standing up over and over in the audience to counter OHA's falsehoods and propaganda, Hanalei shares with us how one voice can make a huge difference.

Don't miss this one as Hanalei relates, blow by blow, how frustrated OHA representatives became as he stopped them cold!
