From the World to Mānoa was a podcast where I spoke with different students from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, each week. The idea behind the show was to bring together the campus community and help students to recognize that although they may be far from home, they’re not alone. I also wanted to provide a platform for different students to share their unique stories and experiences of the places they are from.
