"Our parents are HAWAIIAN and our ancestors go back to the kings and queens. We’re the non-royal side. Lol
We were born on the Windward side of Oahu. We went to school there for a little while until our ohana (family) had to move to the California where our dad lives. We lived there for a while and then moved to Alaska where we live with our mom."
