You don’t have to be fluent in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi to use it every day. Replacing simple words and phrases like “Hi” and “Thank you” with “Aloha” and “Mahalo” is a simple switch that can go a long way. The more you use these words, the more others will pick up on it—and soon, you’ll hear them using it too. #Aloha #Mahalo #ʻŌleloHawaiʻi by @shereenballes

❇️ MEET SHEREEN BALLES ❇️

LOCAL: Hawai’i

OTHER SAG-AFTRA COMMITTEE SERVICE: Local Legislative Committee, Local Background Committee, Local Diversity Committee

SAG-AFTRA SPECIALTY: Actor, Singer, Composer, Lyricist, Musician

I am a Kanaka Mā’oli Actress, Writer, Director , Producer, Indigenous Actress Writer, Director Producer, Kahu, Kanaka Mā’oli Practitioner, Kanaka Mā’oli Cultural Practitioner

CURRENT WORK/ CAN BE SEEN IN: I am working on the next steps to funding my episodic series “This Is The Way Out”. I am also the Producer and Actress of 5 up and coming Made in Hawai'i Independent Short Films to be completed in 2026.

About Shereen:
Aloha Mai Kākou! ‘O wau Shereen Patrice Keli’i’ōpua Balles @shereenballes . Noho ma Wai’ānae ma ka mokupuni o O’ahu ma Hawai’i nei.

I am kanaka mā’oli- indigenous/native person of Hawai’i. I am a teacher, kahu, mother, aunty, sister and public figure in our community and currently live on the island of O’ahu in Wai’ānae -born and raised in Nu’uanu, Honolulu. I’ve lived in Central O’ahu in Wahiawā. I visit various places in Hawai’i, like Kaua’i, Moloka’i, Maui and Hawai’i and the one thing remains true- our kanaka are relearning and reinventing ourselves as a people . It is important to me and is imperative to bring awareness to our Kanaka Mā’oli, Polynesian, Pacific Islander and Asian Pacific Islander Community.

I have been an a working actor here in Hawai’i since 2010 working as a background actress on most productions film in Hawai’i like Hawai’i Five O, Magnum PI, NCIS Hawai’i, Chief of War, and have had speaking roles on Magnum PI and many independent films. My most treasured venture yet, was making our Short Film/Proof of Concept “A Way Out.”

I look forward to be a part of the change that we all seek as I feel it is my kuleana-my responsibility to be an advocate for our Kanaka Mā’oli nation and Pacific and Asian Pacific Islander community at large. I feel I need to be an alaka’i- a leader that my ancestors and descendants can rely upon to perpetuate a more positive light upon our people.

Lights...Camera... Action... That's it!

PC: #Vizualenz aka #JessicaKawelo had a fun time with the request I had of her. I asked her to filter me into black and white, but hints of color in other things, and this is what she created!!! I absolutely love it !
