Aloha mai kākou. My name is Amber Kapuamakamaeokalani Estelle Granite. I am from Kailua, O’ahu, I have 4 children, ages 7-15. I started my work in breastfeeding as a WIC breastfeeding peer counselor at the Waimānalo Health Center. Sharing and listening to WIC stories has taught me so much about what our local families need to be a thriving community. I am currently a WIC Breastfeeding Coordinator and CPA. I became an Indigenous Breastfeeding Counselor (IBC) after helping to coordinate the IBC training with the Breastfeeding Hawaii Coalition, where I now serve as Board President. This was a 5-day, intensive, native lactation training course and together with our trainers, we awarded 32 women the title of IBC, Indigenous Breastfeeding Counselor. I am also working on my Master’s in Public Health at the University of Hawai’i with a focus on Native Hawaiian and Indigenous Health working to perpetuate culturally-grounded nutrition and breastfeeding education and promotion with an emphasis on integrating Native Hawaiian cultural practices and values.
