We're excited to share that Kakou Collective and our founder Kea Peters have been featured in Civil Beat's recent article by Lauren Teruya about Native Hawaiian entrepreneurs and our journey with Shopify's new Hawaii Rising program! The article highlights how our business grew from Instagram live tutorials during the 2020 quarantine to a thriving online community, where we share native plant-inspired stickers, stationery, and washi tape with customers who want to feel connected to Hawaii.
The piece is part of Civil Beat's "Hawaii's Changing Economy" series and showcases how local businesses like ours are embracing e-commerce to reach customers beyond our islands. We're honored to be featured alongside other Native Hawaiian entrepreneurs who are bridging tradition with digital innovation through the Hawaii Rising program, a collaboration between Mana Up and Shopify.
