Today, me and my squeaky chair are going to tell you all about Ho'ala Publishing, the new publishing house that Iâve launched with a mission to help YOU turn your ideas, your mission, and your message into a published work that resonates with your audience and aligns with your values.
Who We Are:
Ho'ala Publishing is a boutique, LGBTQIA-owned publishing house committed to amplifying diverse voices and stories. Weâre a safe, inclusive space for entrepreneurs, creatives, and change-makers of all backgrounds to share their unique messages with the world. Whether you're a woman, a person of color, part of the LGBTQIA community, or anyone whose voice has been overlooked, weâre here to help you rise and be seen. We believe that every story is valuable and has the power to transform the world.
Our Mission:
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower individuals to find their voice, share their unique stories, and spread their mission to a global audience. We guide our clients from concept to execution, supporting them in every step of the creative processâfrom writing to publishing, marketing, and branding.

Through storytelling, we create opportunities for our clients to take their place at the table and make a stand. We want to raise the collective consciousness, empower individuals to embrace their unique "medicine" (gifts, talents, passions), and ensure that every person has a platform to share their truth with the world.
