Executive Director

Aloha! My name is Sunny Concepcion, and I am of Hawaiian, Portuguese, Filipino, and Sioux descent. I was born and raised in Hawaiʻi with family roots in Kāneʻohe and Liliha and am a proud graduate of President William McKinley High School.

Growing up, I was inspired by the local community center in my neighborhood that offered free programs for youth. That experience planted the dream of one day creating a nonprofit space where children and families could stay connected to their culture.

After moving to Las Vegas in 2009, I saw how important it was to preserve our language and traditions for future generations. Through Mana O Ka Lāhui, my goal is to educate, inspire, and empower our community to honor their roots and carry our culture forward.
