#83 - Xeana Kamalani Dung: Discovering Your ‘Why’

Let’s say Aloha to our next guest Xeana Kamalani - aka, Kama! Kama is a model, actress, Philanthropist, founder of Kama Training, and is the first pro league pitcher in softball that’s from Hawaii. And being only 25 years old, she has accomplished so much.  Today we cover, ·      What growing up in Hawaii is really like and how her hometown, Makaha, would be best described as the ghetto. ·      The hardest part growing up poor. ·      How her parents really pushed her to venture outside of Makaha and pursue her studies and softball. ·      Getting full scholarships to Fresno State then UC Berkely to be able to play softball. ·      The decision to continue with softball and what it means to her to be the first ever pro softball player from Hawaii. ·      The biggest frustrations of being a female pro athlete. ·      Almost losing her mom to a stroke and realizing the army she had supporting her. ·      Not letting other’s opinions affect her. ·      What Kama Training is.  I am amazed by Kama and how well she has her head on her shoulders. She is an inspiration and I can’t wait to see where else life will take her.  Want to keep up with Kama?
