We gain friends with food,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I couldn\u2019t agree more. For Hawai&#8217;i folks, our love for our food is not just about nourishment, not just about how good it all tastes\u2014it is that these foods are <strong>unique to us and our islands<\/strong>. It is about perpetuating our culture and bringing us together in a way that defies all things that might try to separate us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Kerry\u2019s words reminded me of the way my family used to spend a Saturday delivering bunches of bananas to family and friends when our trees gifted us with too many for us to eat ourselves. We\u2019d just leave them on people\u2019s stoops. And eventually, we\u2019d find bags of mangos, lychees, or papayas left on our stoop. It is just that way in Hawai&#8217;i. Kerry said, \u201cNo poho.\u201d Exactly, no poho, no waste. We didn\u2019t have a lot of money, but we had our fruit trees and could spread wealth in that way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Kerry also shared that she is a Hawai&#8217;ian princess, a descendant of the Hale O Ke\u014dua Nui bloodline. Robert Wilcox (Hawai&#8217;i\u2019s first delegate to congress) and HRH Princess Theresa Owana Ka&#8217;ohelelani La&#8217;anui Wilcox are her great great grandparents. Her great great grandmother\u2019s first marriage was to Alexander Cartwright Jr., the inventor of the rules of baseball.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure style=\"width: 328px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ef939f36932313286f61200\/1607826285677-4OCGJJQ6M03N8RLCIO8W\/image-asset.jpeg?format=original\" alt=\" (l-to-r) Kerry\u2019s mother, great great grandmother (seated), and grandmother \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(l-to-r) Kerry\u2019s mother, great great grandmother (seated), and grandmother<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 1220px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ef939f36932313286f61200\/1607826089002-B98HDOHQJ6CIZFB8MXTT\/image-asset.jpeg?format=original\" alt=\" Family crest of Hale O Ke\u014dua Nui \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Family crest of Hale O Ke\u014dua Nui<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ef939f36932313286f61200\/1607826361824-P5H3V3AYSPBJDBQCD5G0\/image-asset.jpeg?format=original\" alt=\" (l-to-r) Kerry\u2019s great grand aunt, mother, great great grandmother, and grand aunt. \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(l-to-r) Kerry\u2019s great grand aunt, mother, great great grandmother, and grand aunt.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Kerry also shared that she is Frank De Lima\u2019s cousin and was generous enough to let us post some photos of Frank De Lima&#8217;s Aunty Caroline Farias. \ud83e\udd70<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure style=\"width: 464px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ef939f36932313286f61200\/1607826196782-XCR8G0HSJ2TGTXSE4WKY\/image-asset.jpeg?format=original\" alt=\" Frank De Lima\u2019s Aunty Caroline Farias making guava jam \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frank De Lima\u2019s Aunty Caroline Farias making guava jam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 472px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ef939f36932313286f61200\/1607826183690-PAXOSDOA3CI6BKY3S1AK\/image-asset.jpeg?format=original\" alt=\" Aunty Caroline Farias making pickled onions \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aunty Caroline Farias making pickled onions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s when we share, they still live, when we speak their names, in the h\u0101 or breath.
