My name is No'u Revilla, I'm a Hawaiian poet from  Hawaii and today I'm reading a poem from my debut   book of poetry Ask the Brindled.

The poem is called  "The Ea of Enough." I wanted to write a poem that   would uplift other Hawaiian women. I wanted to  write a poem that said I see you, I believe you   and this is the poem that emerged, and it's  based on a concept in Hawaiian culture, Ea which can denote sovereignty, breath, and rising  all at the same time.

Mahalo for listening.
