WOMAN OF ACCOMPLISHMENT WOWS US ALL ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE
Lately we've been fortunate to come across a number of people who prove that one person can make a difference. But Jackie Burke seems to have taken it to a whole new level.
In the latest of our brand new second season segments, Jackie reveals how her boundless energy and ideas combine to make her a genuine Woman of Accomplishment and we're all better off because of it.
If you've ever thought "little ol' me won't make a difference," think again as we introduce this week's schedule for Voices Of Truth - One-On-One With Hawai`i's Future -

"Woman Of Accomplishment - A Visit With Jackie Kaho`okele Burke." In`another of our brand new second season segments, Jackie reminds us of the saying, "If you want something done, just ask a busy person to do it."
As if being publisher of the Oiwi Files wasn't enough, Jackie has somehow found time to launch a plan for Sovereignty Buses that will travel throughout Hawai`i as well as across the US to educate and spread the message of Kanaka Maoli self-determination.
On top of that, she plans to film a documentary on the project as the buses travel.
And did we mention that she has not one but two masters degrees as part of her action plan?
We're sure you'll agree that Jackie's a superb role model for making things happen as she shares with us her exciting vision for the future of Hawai`i.
