Building Across Oceans

What does it mean to belong to Hawaiʻi when you live across an ocean?In this episode of All Things Change, we talk story with Ipo Wright, founder of Hawaiian Diaspora, about identity, kuleana, cultural connection, and the growing movement to support Native Hawaiians wherever they are in the world.Ipo shares her journey of helping connect the Hawaiian diaspora across continents through community building, research, technology, and shared responsibility. Together, we explore how Native Hawaiians abroad are navigating questions of belonging, displacement, access, and connection — while also finding powerful ways to contribute to the betterment of Hawaiʻi.This conversation is about more than staying connected to home. It is about building community across oceans, honoring culture in new ways, and supporting Hawaiians to thrive wherever they are.
