Aloha

Aloha everyone!!! Let us introduce ourselves:

From the Hawaiian language, the word "aloha" is most commonly used as a greeting to say "hello" or "goodbye." However, the word also encapsulates concepts such as love, affection, and kindness. This essence of Aloha can be found in how we strive to welcome and provide our members with a home. No matter the time or distance, we always greet each other with the same love, spirit, and compassion that our name illustrates. The Aloha spirit doesn’t just stop with our members—we are a home to anyone and everyone. Aloha may be tiny, but our presence is mighty!

Aloha Fam was founded in 2018 by Elaine Nguyen, Liem Nguyen, and Zhenia Mendoza as a place for everyone to feel welcomed! With the world being so harsh and cliquey, Aloha was created for the opposite: to spread Aloha vibes.

"Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten."

Aloha’s motto comes from the 2002 Disney movie Lilo & Stitch that follows a young Hawaiian girl named Lilo and the extraterrestrial being Stitch as they explore the concept of ‘ohana, or family. Aloha Fam always strives to embody inclusivity, acceptance, and welcoming. Anybody that wants to be a part of our Aloha family will be greeted with open minds, open hearts, and open arms. In other words, in Aloha Fam, nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Aloha Fam’s colors are blue and pink, our hand symbol is the shaka, and our logo is the hibiscus flower.
