In this episode, Dr. G sits down with the owner of Aloha NW, a small Island-themed retail shop in the heart of downtown Kirkland, WA. Tanya Carnahan, the owner, identifies as haolé and fell in love with Kona after spending several years living there. Some local people see this as an offense, an appropriation of culture. Dr. G demonstrates that the heart of a person is what counts, and we should not quickly judge without attempting to build relationships and understanding first. They are joined by Keenan and Kim DeMello from Kimberline Creations, artists and vendors whose crafts are sold at Aloha NW.
Through this conversation, the four demonstrate that there is often more to most situations than meets the eye. Tanya's love for the islands translates into a place where local artists, musicians, and craftspeople's work is highlighted to a broader continental market. We hope you enjoy this insightful conversation!
