Aloha from the beautiful islands of Hawaii! From Honolulu on the island of O’ahu, my name is TeHani TaNoa and welcome to my page.I was born and raised in different areas of the island: Kalihi, Kane’ohe and Kuli’ou’ou. Kissed by exotic ethnicities, I am of Hawaiian, Tahitian, Chinese, Spanish, Filipino and English mix.By birth I am Kanoa Ka’ana’ana Keawe and on stage I am TeHani TaNoa. Both very distinctive looks, but same personality overall. Don’t let the make up, hair and clothes fool you. I live my life as a guy and dress up part time as a female. You can call me a TV (transvestite) or a TS (transsexual), it doesn’t matter. I am a human being and as real as they come.I may have been an educated private school student as a 1993 graduate of St.Louis schools and a 1998 graduate of Hawaii Pacific University but I am still very down to earth and humble. I love to write and express my thoughts, my philosophies and ideals. Take some time to read my blogs when you can and comment them if you like.A PLUS SIZE DIVA is what I am. I believe in being proud of your body..every inch, every curve and work it out like not other!I am a firm believer in the SISTERHOOD. Men and keikis may come and go...but your sisters will always be there for you.I am commonly known as the House Mother of HOT (House Of Tanoa). I have a lot of keikis and grandbabies. I believe in acceptance, unconditional love and nurturing. I stand by the fact that we are a hanai family..related by love, not by blood.There are certain women who have strongly shaped me into the being I am today: my birth mother Naomi Annie Kalei Keawe and my grandmother Annie Kuuleimale Tisalona; my drag mothers – Chynna Brown and Kassondra K; my drag grandma Lynda Brown and my godmother Maddalyn Ashton.I have certain kids that are my backbone and my strength for whom I am very thankful for: my sons Mana, Jess, Kaleo, Matt, Koa, Kekoa, Grace and Makani; my daughters Tiana, Trixie, Torrance, Anela and Talia.I have never claimed to be perfect. I have flaws. Unlike others, I can admit that I am a work in progress. Life is about changes, but changes for the better. Progress is the key. Evolution is a life long process. Choose carefully the key people in your life. Surround yourself with love, acceptance and positive energy. This nuturing environment will help encourage you to succeed in life.My parents had a saying “Forever & Infinity” when they told each other I LOVE YOU. One would say..”I love you, FOREVER” and the other would respond with “ AND INFINITY. That is the motto that I live my life by..to live life passionately, to love fiercely and to be loyal to the end….FOREVER & INFINITY
