Speaker
Jasmin Iolani Hakes
 
Topic
"We Are What Happens to Us”
 
Writer Jasmin Iolani Hakes was born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii. So it may be no surprise that her essays that have appeared in newspapers around the country, including the Los Angeles Times and Sacramento Bee, are often about her native land, its people, and cultures.

Currently residing in California, she has won numerous writing awards and acclaim. Her debut novel will be released in 2021 by Scribner, a Simon & Schuster imprint.

CWC members write novels, short stories, screen plays, poetry, nonfiction articles and books, commercial work and more.

More than half our members are published writers.
