Day 23 of my March-Read a Poem a Day Challenge

For me, it is always a joy to read poetry by someone that I know personally because, I already have the back story and through reading their poetry, I gain much more insight into their inner workings. My friend Malia is of mixed heritage, she is Hawaiian and African and she brings a unique perspective as to what means to be hapa. She writes about the love she has for her Hawaiian/African culture and people.
