Social media continues to transform how individuals and communities all over the world engage with each other. Twitter (aka X), Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are just a few popular platforms that provide content creators a space to bring new trends, discuss global topics, and a way for activists to share photos of resistance. Social media has proven to be a powerful tool for education, bringing truth in a false news world, and a place that can be scrolled through for hours.

This episode brings social media users and content creators to a discussion on how education about Hawai'i is translated between those on island and those in the diaspora. We take a look at popular trends such as #KānakaTwitter to discuss how Kānaka are communicating with each other in hopes of exemplifying individual and collective kuleana.
