The Hot Mess Baby

For the Film School Baby

I talk about anxiety behind starting and searching for film jobs, life as a film student, moving to Atlanta, and how to fake it until you make it.

The Non-Mexican Baby

I talk about being a minority amongst minorities, Hawaii's history, and growing up feeling distant from a culture that doesn't feel like my own. I also share a poem, "Motherland," that ends with one of Hawaii's most well-known songs, "Aloha 'Oe." This poem will be available in my book, "The Hot Mess Millennium," coming July 26th of this year.

Why She Calls Herself Baby

I talk about my "Baby" brand, why I call myself that, and what that word means to me. I also finally tell the full story about how I got that word tattooed on me forever in a Grammy-award winning singer's handwriting.
