We love it when Youth Xchange student filmmakers go on to great things. Congratulations to Nanea Ah You of Kamehameha Schools Maui whose video won this year’s Creating Peace category (High School division), on this awesome award. Read the original article here.

The honor is just one of her many accomplishments so far.
Ah You wants to be a filmmaker when she grows up.
She has been fascinated with visual storytelling for as long as she can remember.
Nanea and her parents thought they were doing an interview with Hawaii News Now for an award she recently won in Olelo Community Media’s Youth Xchange Student Video Competition. However, during the interview, they learned that she won another award – the “Take Me to Manoa” contest – one full year of free tuition to the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Thank you!” Nanea said.
Nanea said she always wanted to be a rainbow warrior.
