Some of you might know that I am also a ariter on an app called Wattpad. Through Wattpad, I’ve published five (5) books and I’ve come to be recognized as the “Marshallese guy who writes books”, and I’ve also been recognized for having *5million on my first published book.

Kon ott menin, Ikar maron kar share my story and participate in different kinds of Public activity and program such as, Marshallese Youth Program by M.E.I. (Marshallese Education Initiative, where I’ve met a lot of great Mentors and Youths Iike me. TASC (Teen Action and Support Center) where I hosted my First ever “Iakwe Night” with my dear friend and mentor Jina Tawoj.

Being part of M.E.I and hosting the First ever Marshallese Got talent show.

Getting a job as a Marshallese Youth Mentor at ACOM (Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese) which got me the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful, talented kids in my community.

Mentoring youths to branch out and learn new things. We also hosted the first ever Marshallese Pageant Show, hosted by me and my wonderful mentees. Love them.

I also got the chance to go on my first business trip through Light House Solution and met amazing people, and met executives from Walmart and met the Washington County Judge who had asked me if I would like to write a story with him in the near future. Thank you Stacy Harper for a wonderful trip.

Now I’m going for modeling and through that, I hope I can inspire others, I also want to thank everyone especially my partner Robert Nakasone, who has welcomed me here in Springdale, Arkansas.

It’s been three years and more years to come.

From this I will be able to guide youth in our community through different sources and also help them grow through experience. I hope and pray for success and good fortune for all of us.

I want to recognize my mentors, great and amazing people:

Melisa Laelan
Momo Milne
Lakisha Harper-Bradley

And those who have made me who I am today
