“Coming into these rooms every day and meeting all you guys - you make me feel normal.”
For Kekoa Carvalho, host of the Pure Aloha Talk podcast, gratitude begins with having a place to be heard.
Kekoa and Alvin Legaspi lead GOALS Hawaiʻi, a nonprofit advancing mental health awareness, substance-use prevention and violence prevention across the islands. Rooted in their own experiences of overcoming difficult circumstances, their work creates space for honest conversations and healing.
At ʻŌlelo Community Media, they’ve found a room where they can share their stories and invite others to share theirs. Because everyone’s story is different, and any one of them could be the story that helps someone feel seen, understood or less alone.
Your story belongs here, too.
Mahalo to Kekoa, Alvin and the entire GOALS Hawaiʻi team for trusting us with your voices.
