A lot of #AAPIHeritageMonth features of journalists are leaving out Pacific Islanders. Decided to make my own list and celebrate some Pasifika women in the media I look up to.

. @ahofschneider reports for the @CivilBeat and reports extensively on Micronesian communities in Hawaii. She also is a member of @aaja's Pacific Islander Task Force.

. @SabrinaMatanane is a long-time TV journalist on Guam and managing director of @kuamnews, leading the region in local news coverage of every issue in the Marianas.

Catherine Cruz has been a TV reporter in Hawaii since 1983 and is now the host of The Conversation on @wearehpr

. @kat_alo is a news developer at @sfchronicle and also a member of AAJA's Pacific Islander Task Force. She was previously the data reporter at Outlier Media, where she used housing records to get Detroiters critical resources.

. @lenikacruz is from Guahan and is the senior editor at @TheAtlantic covering culture.

. @CiaraLeiLacy is an independent filmmaker in Hawaii and her "interest lies in crafting films that use strong characters and investigative journalism to challenge the creative and political status quo." https://www.ciaralacy.com/
