Season 03 Ep 07: Alexis Akiona // A New Generation of Aloha Wear & Motherhood

On this International Women’s Day, Andrew and Kolby are excited to share this episode featuring LexBreezy Hawaii founder, Alexis Akiona. This Hilo-girl launched her modern aloha wear and resort wear brand at the 2016 Merrie Monarch Arts & Crafts Fair when she was just 22. Today her company has 13 employees spread among a brick and mortar in Kailua, production, fulfillment for online orders and a wholesale division. Her LexBreezy children’s line was recently picked up by Nordstrom and her designs are sold in the House of Mana Up stores in Waikīkī and online.  
Alexis started a scholarship program recently to help dozens of other students create careers in fashion - gifting $50,000 over five years to Honolulu CC providing 20 scholarships each year for fashion and cosmetology students, with a preference for Native Hawaiians. We love Alexis’ passion to give back to her community while getting it ALL done along the way!   Please comment, like and share this episode!
