Personas
Brooke Leialoha
Personas is a a song about the relationship we have to identity and the pains that come with shapeshifting to fit in. Specifically, it speaks to the pressure that indigenous communities face, the shedding of culture and beliefs to exist and survive in systems of oppression. Yes, it's fun to put on a costume, but how long will it last ? Who are you really behind the mask ?

Like a FLame
Brooke Leialoha
Like a Flame is about the duality of being a powerful woman: you are either loved, respected, and revered for your power, or ridiculed, silenced, and exiled. While society encourages us all to fit in boxes, to be quiet and submissive, the fire within is always burning, ready to create a new world, and destroy what no longer serves. May this song remind all womxn of their innate power, and encourage us to brush off the shame, fear, and doubt of the past.

The Dam BReaks
Brooke Leialoha
The Dam Breaks is a song about speaking your truth. It is a feminist anthem that encourages us all to be expressive, free, and unapologetic about your unique way of being. To some, the truth is intimidating or overwhelming, but in reality, it is the most protective mechanism we can employ.
