Kanoa Kau Arteaga is a māhū (trans) person originally from the SF Bay Area, currently living in Austin, Texas. For him, his role as a trans leader is both an honor and cultural kuleana (responsibility). He has founded organizations aimed at uplifting the lives of queer and trans BIPOC and today, he leads Trans Lifeline's Microgrants program, which disburses small grants to help trans people update name and gender markers on identifying legal documents.

JR Keaolani Bogacs-Moore is a queer, Black Native Hawaiian disabled and neurodivergent illustrator. Keaolani is highly influenced by queer Leather culture and portrays aspects of this subject matter in picture books for young adult to mature audiences involving navigation of teen years growing up as a queer black native person in the Pacific, discovering racial and sexual identity, sharing personal narratives of diaspora and subcultures within editorial, fine art, and comics.
