MEET THE FOUNDER

A life rebuilt.

A movement rising.

Rev. Darcie Pulawa-Morales created KŪ Hawaiʻi from a truth she has lived:

what happened to you may shape your story, but it does not have to decide your future.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Rev. Darcie

Pulawa-Morales

Founder • Trainer • Speaker

Doctor of Ministry • Cultural practitioner • Retreat leader

Dr. Darcie Pulawa-Morales is a Kānaka Maoli and Filipino trainer, speaker, and retreat leader raised in Honolulu. She created KŪ as the first empowerment program born in Hawaiʻi, for Hawaiʻi.

Her teaching draws on professional training and lived experience in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and starting again. Through guided reflection, everyday communication skills, and hands-on practice, she helps people build confidence and take meaningful steps toward their goals.

For Darcie, growth reaches beyond one person: it strengthens our ʻohana, workplaces, and community.
