Tanya Yamanaka is a mother and grandmother living on the Big Island of Hawaii. A community advocate, writer, and healer, she explores the journey of the Soul Model: leadership as a path toward wholeness, belonging, and collective transformation. Rooted in place, relationship, and lived experience, she offers a grounded perspective on what it means to lead in times of profound change.

Drawing inspiration from Hawaii's landscapes, culture, and political movements, Tanya explores leadership as remembrance-of belonging, responsibility, and our shared humanity.
