Ladies Artisan Market to Host Virtual Talk Story With Women Lawmakers From Hawai‘i Island

In honor of Women’s Equality Day, the Ladies Artisan Market, LLC, will host a virtual talk story with Hawai‘i Island’s female state representatives.

The event will take place on Aug. 25 via Zoom with Sen. Laura Acasio of Hilo, Sen. Joy A. SanBuenaventura of Puna, Rep. Nicole E. Lowen of Kailua-Kona, and Rep. Jeanné Kapela of South Kona/Ka’ū.

Shannon Matson, community organizer, business owner and former candidate for State House in Upper Puna/Volcano, will be moderating this event that will cover topics such as: what it’s like being a female-identifying public servant in Hawai’i at the State level, challenges and triumphs they’ve experienced, how more women can get involved in the process to make positive change in local politics, and why we need more women in public office.
