EP 10: The Wisdom of Gen Z ~ Lessons from Rising Artist Rachel Radona

“Sometimes when everybody dreams about goals or what they want to reach in life, sometimes you feel like you have to do everything at once and you have to keep on pushing no matter what. But I've learned that good things take time and you definitely have to give yourself time to rest, time to grow, and good things will come eventually.” ~ Rachel Radona, Inspirational Muralist and Designer

The ʻōlelo noʻeau, “Aʻohe pau ka ʻike i ka hālau hoʻokahi” teaches us that “Not all knowledge comes from the same school; one can learn from many sources.” In this episode, Inspired by Aloha podcasters and Gen Xers Amy, Erin, and Shareen learn from a vibrant, articulate, and authentic up and coming artist, Rachel Radona. Her positive enthusiasm and aloha shows up in all of her endeavors as a UH Mānoa student athlete, inspirational artist, muralist, t-shirt designer, and entrepreneur.

Throughout the episode, Rachel exudes a charming optimism that will keep you smiling. She shares her unique perspective on aloha and what it means to her as kanaka ʻōiwi and a member of Generation Z. This lighthearted and fun conversation will not only entertain you, but showcases the promise, value, and hope of our future generations who live aloha.

“...to not know where my future is going right now is super exciting. That's like the best part ever because there's so many things out there that are open to me. There's so many doors that I have yet to step into. So that's the best part. I don't think anybody should be scared to have no clue what they're doing.” ~ Rachel Radona
