Our special guest on this podcast is Donna Kubo, who fondly shares memories of growing up in Kaawa—walks with her grandpa and his secret stash of whiskey along the way, her grandma’s call for “BUTTA,” and the unique tradition of hot chocolate with cheese, which she describes as “a Puerto Rican thing.” These cherished moments helped shape the person she is today.

With the ORAL HISTORY collection, you will encounter a profound tapestry of firsthand narratives that captures the unique experiences of individuals from diverse backgrounds. This project preserves and honors the stories of those from various walks of life, ensuring that their voices resonate across generations.
