A descendant of Filipino plantation workers who immigrated to Hawai’i in the early 1900s, Brianne Lauro (@brianne_lauro) is the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of local fishers and hunters.

In this second episode of “Untangling,” Brianne opens up for the first time about imposter syndrome and credits all she’s learned as a fisher to her Uncle Lance. While Brianne herself is relatively new to fishing, she’s learned that it’s become a way to connect with her family history, build and take care of her community, and share culture and knowledge across generations.

Untangling is a three-part Outside Voices mini-series exploring our cultural connections to fishing, created in partnership with our friends at Take Me Fishing.
