What does it mean to serve your community one person at a time?In this episode of Kauaʻi Unscripted, YWCA Kauaʻi Executive Director Cheryl Lum reflects on the experiences, relationships, and values that shaped her life and leadership on Kauaʻi.Through a spontaneous card-draw conversation exploring roots, path, truth, and impact, Cheryl shares how she found her calling in social work, learned to face fear by stepping directly into it, and discovered the lasting power of community care.She also opens up about the influence of her parents and grandmother, the loss of her father, the challenges and mental load of leadership, and her work as a resource caregiver. At the heart of the conversation is Cheryl’s belief that even one small act of service can create a ripple effect that makes Kauaʻi healthier, safer, and more connected.This heartfelt conversation is a reminder that community is something we build together—and that sometimes, we simply have to jump in and take care of business before fear has a chance to stop us.Send us Fan Mail Support the showInstagram • Facebook • Youtube • TikTok
