My name is Leimomi I Maldonado, better known as Aunty Lei. My name is Leimomi I Maldonado, better known as Aunty Lei. My passion for the hula was instilled in me at a young age of 6 by my late Kumu Hula, Aunty Maiki Aiu Lake. With Aunty Maiki’s passing, I had the opportunity to study and Uniki (graduate) as Kuma Hula with her cousin, Aunty Lani Kekauilani Kalama from Kailua. I have been fortunate to study with a young man who’s knowledge is overwhelming and that is Kimo Alama Keaulana. I continue to attend his hula workshops whenever I am able.
