For the last five years the only relationship I’ve been in is with myself. Sounds kind of sad, huh? But what most people don’t know is, the reason for my dry spell single girl status was because at the ripe age of 23 I wanted to learn how to love myself. I made the ballsy […]
“What do you consider more valuable, an education or experience?” It was the on-stage question asked at the 2013 Miss Hawaii USA pageant, a night that forever changed my life. Spoiler alert— I didn’t win. However, sometimes I can’t help but wonder what I would have answered if given the opportunity to speak that […]
You guys, I have a confession to make— I’m afraid of commitment. It’s not as much as the “settling down” kind of commitment, as it is the “all my eggs in one basket” kind of commitment. I live in constant fear that saying yes to one opportunity will keep me from exploring another path of […]
Seriously you guys, how lucky are we to live in a time where anything is possible? We are able to travel the world and submerg ourselves in different cultures with the intention to learn. We are able to quit the stale routine of a 9-5 job so we can find work that fuels our passions, and most […]

As a girl with her head always in the clouds, do you really think I would have missed out on watching the phenomenal #SolarEclipse2017?! Well believe it, because while some people ventured across the country to witness this once in a lifetime experience— in true Gennah fashion, I totally spaced. I literally walked into the […]
Airplanes are a crazy kind of situation, you’re neither in the place you’ve been, nor in the place you’re going. You are above the world at peace, reflecting on the experiences you’ve encountered while manifesting the possibility of what’s yet to come. Two Five years ago, as I traveled through the clouds in route to my next […]
It’s crazy to think a good portion of my younger years was spent obsessing over a boob job. I mean, I grew up in Orange County where plastic surgery is a right of passage for a girl on her 18th birthday, so I guess it’s really not that crazy. Lucky for me, I’m horrible at saving […]
Would you believe me if I told you I ran my first full marathon with zero training?! Zip. Zilch. Nada. I bought a number off Craigslist two days before the race and ran as Lilly Lee, a 38-year old from Honolulu Hawaii. Of course everyone told me I was insane for randomly deciding to run […]
