Ellen-Rae Cachola is a granddaughter of immigrant Ilocanos who worked and settled on Maui. She has been mentored by Filipinas called the Urban Babaylan who taught her about Philippine spiritual traditions; Hawaiian and local demilitarization organizers who taught her about Hawaiian Independence; and Asian, Pacific, Caribbean and U.S. women who taught her about the importance of alliance building across different communities to build the relationships & communication necessary to free our societies from colonialism and militarism. She currently works at the William S. Richardson School of Law Library and lectures for the Department of Ethnic Studies. She wrote a chapter called “Beneath the Touristic Sheen of Waikīkī” in DeTours: A Decolonial Guidebook to Hawai’i. Sometimes, she produces YouTube videos on Pilipinx decolonization processes under the name ellenraec.
