ʻO wau ʻo Lindsey Kim. ʻO Kawela koʻu inoa Hawaiʻi. No Oʻahu mai au. Noho au ma Seattle. I am descended from Kānaka Maoli mai Hawaiʻi mai and Chinese, Japanese, and Korean plantation-era immigrants to Hawaiʻi . I have a chronic pain disability resulting from a college cheerleading injury. I have had four spinal surgeries, use mobility aid devices, and have a Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) implant to manage the pain.
