Janine Oshiro loves creating storytelling programs that explore the sparks between our collective folk and fairy tales and personal stories. Starting with stories that have sustained humans for generations, she strives to find new possibilities to address contemporary needs. Janine has been telling stories through Hawaiʻi’s Statewide Cultural Extension Program since 2021. She is also the author of Pier, winner of the 2010 Kundiman Poetry Prize, published by Alice James Books. She was awarded the 2011 Elliot Cades Award for Literature in Hawaiʻi for an emerging writer and the 2013 Asian American Literary Award for Poetry.
