Honolulu Civil Beat in partnership with UH West Oahu’s Sustainable Community Food Systems Program and Waiwai Collective present a special evening of stories told by folks whose lives have been greatly influenced by Hawaii’s food systems.

Join us for the first in-person Hawaii Storytellers since January 2020. At this limited-seating event, attendees will embark on a journey through Hawaii’s food systems from the soil to the plate, told through stories from folks whose lives impact and have been influenced by food in our islands.
