Kristina “Tina” Leilani Hulama is a Native Hawaiian and Samoan woman and dedicated emerging scholar from Wai’anae and Kapolei, with ancestral ties to Hawaiʻi. She feels a deep kuleana (privilege/responsibility) to the local community of Hawai’i as a licensed social worker and a doctoral student at the University of Denver. Tina graduated with her MSW from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa in 2022 and has over 10 years of experience working in social services. She is an advocate for health justice and equity in the healthcare environment, with a background in social work and a commitment to addressing epistemic injustice and systemic discrimination in healthcare. Tina is interested in seeking radical change within the healthcare landscape of Hawai’i and beyond. Her work is driven by a desire to foster a shift in the understanding and provision of justice, healing, activism, and community care for Pacific Islander women.
