Small Business on a Big Stage | Honolulu News

Hawaiian Airlines teamed up with local bead artist Constanza Dennis of Kailua Beads to supply 60,000 beads for the live-action Moana premiere in LA—letting 4,000 fans craft their own keychains and charms. This big opportunity came after their prior collaboration, and Dennis, who moved from Chile to Hawaii, turned her online craft business into a physical storefront just three months ago. She showed up in custom gear, thrilled to be part of such a major event, and shared her message: say “yes” to chances—even if you’re not fully ready—and hustle like crazy. Her story is a powerful reminder that small businesses, especially those run by women and moms, can shine on a global stage with grit and belief.
