Growing up on Sulani, La'akea had always heard tales about the secretive people of the sea, but she had never held high hopes of encountering one until the fateful summer following her high school graduation. After experiencing a whirlwind romance with Tane, she discovered a whole new side of her hometown. Now, as a mother, she challenges herself to pursue the peak of both parenting and her career in conservation. #sulani #islandliving #family #conservation #sulanifamily #mermaid #merman
