Ever since small kid time, Grace began using a journal to help her understand and change the world for better. Today, she is an accomplished mother, experiential educator, and writer. Along with raising her 7 year old daughter, she births poems, plays, and essays. Most recently, she shared a few of her life stories in an all women's storytelling performance, Papayas and Bittermellon: Tales of Bitter and Sweet. Grace produced her first play, My Body My Space which addressed mother/daughter/grandmother communication issues around STDs, HIV, and relationship safety.

Darlene Rodrigues
As a teenager, Darlene began a secret journal where she observed life in poetic form and thus began her creative journey. This secret writing blossomed into her poems being published in places such as Babaylan: An Anthology of Filipina and Filipina American Writers and Amerasia Journal. Later she realized that poetry was not enough and she began to perform in Los Angeles with the Kalo Projects. Last year she performed in the Filipina cultural adaptation of The Vagina Monologues. Also a videomaker and Olelo producer, Darlene has created educational programs teaching middle school students in Kalihi about video production and the role of self-expression in their lives Around town, she can be found reading her poetry at venues such as The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu Academy of Arts and re:Verses. She is eager to help youth listen to their inner voice and find the courage to uncover their creative fire.
