23. Brenton Awa: Growing up in the country, misinformation in the media, and running for state senate
Description
Brenton Awa is a Native-Hawaiian journalist from the island of O'ahu. He's a father of three, a high school wrestling state champion, and a former news anchor for KITV4. Since leaving the news station he has been taking a grassroots approach in the community and reporting local news all on his own, all while substitute teaching to make ends meet. Brenton has decided to run for state senate to represent district 23 and hopes to bring some real change to Hawai'i. In this episode we talk about growing up in the country and where he got his work ethic from, his journey into journalism, misinformation in the media, his plans for the state senate if he is elected, and so much more. Enjoy!
