ⓘ About Jasmin Iolani Hakes

She is the recipient of the Hedgebrook residency in 2018. She won the Best Fiction Award from the Southern California Writers Conference. Her debut novel, “Hula”, was inspired in part by her family oral history which spoke to having Hawaiian blood, albeit undocumented, along with her journey as a mom, raising a daughter that is native Hawaiian on paper and one that isn’t. Hula, in some way or another, has been a part of her life ever since she was born. So the novel was in large part also a homage to the profound impact and role that hula continues to have on her community, the culture she was raised in, and her family.
