Join us on Passport Profiles as travel hosts Franco & Shannon sit down with Emily Harper of Hawaii Flower Lei to explore the deep roots of Hawaiian culture — from Niʻihau (“the Forbidden Island”) to shell lei craftsmanship and the living language of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• The Sinclair/R­obinson family legacy and how Emily continues that connection
• How authentic Hawaiian leis are made — beyond the “tourist garland” — and the meaningful stories they carry
• Surprising truth vs myth about Niʻihau: language, access, and life on the island
• Tips for respectful, culturally rooted travel in Hawaiʻi
• Ways travelers can honor tradition, support land stewardship (mālama ʻāina), and experience deeper cultural exchange

Whether you’re planning Hawaiʻi-bound travels or simply fascinated by island heritage, this episode is your gateway to aloha in action.
