On today's episode we have National Geographic and multi-award winning author, Rita Ariyoshi to talk to us about her new book. Rita has been a writer and editor for many publications for over 20 years. She was the founding editor for the Aloha magazine, and worked as the editor for the Hawaiian Airlines inflight magazine. For the National Geographic, she was involved with many articles including writing two books: "Hula is Life: The Story of Halau Hula O Maiki" and "National Geographic Traveler:" Hawaii. She has written many non-fiction publications, but now she's ready to make her debut featuring her first fiction publication called, "Lion's Way."
We talk about the inspiration into writing Lion's Way, what inspired her to go into journalistic writing, authors who inspired her, how she got involved with National Geographic, what made her go into fictional writing now in her career, what she has learned from learning many different cultures, and much more.
HUGE mahalo to Rita for being an awesome guest on my podcast! Also big mahalo to Kenny Simmons for setting up this interview.
