Pūpū’s and Pro’s with Jalene Kanani of NOHO Home

Join us for a night of networking, libations, and delicious pūpū’s at NOHO Home at the Ala Moana location.

✨ Event Description:

Since its establishment in 1974, the Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce has been dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by Native Hawaiian business leaders and fostering a thriving economic landscape for our community. Continuing this tradition, we invite you to an engaging evening with Jalene Kanani, President and Creative Director of NOHO HOME.

Jalene’s journey from commercial flooring textiles to launching NOHO HOME was driven by a deep passion for authentic, place-based design. Recognizing the absence of Native Hawaiian-inspired home decor in major markets, she built a brand that integrates cultural storytelling with contemporary aesthetics. Today, her designs are featured in major retailers like Macy’s, and her company has grown into a thriving enterprise.

At this exclusive event, Jalene will share insights into her entrepreneurial path, the challenges of scaling a business, and the importance of cultural identity in branding. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, an established business leader, or someone passionate about Native Hawaiian culture, this is an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, inspiration, and connections.

🌺 Why March 26 Matters

This event also falls on Prince Kūhiō Day, a day that honors Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, a Native Hawaiian leader dedicated to the well-being of the Hawaiian people. Just as Prince Kūhiō worked to uplift his community, Jalene Kanani’s work continues to empower Native Hawaiian culture through entrepreneurship and design. Join us to celebrate innovation, resilience, and the enduring spirit of Native Hawaiian leadership.
