happy diwali to those who celebrate! i was able to go to the farmer's market today and try out the yummy food and drinks offered, (one of the food stalls had a samosa chaat and a coconut milk chai, sooo good) and i thought it would be fun to find crafts/recipes for any keiki wanting to learn more!

A Personal Observation I’ve Made About The Agere Community

I haven't been very active on the Tumblr side of the agere community for quite some time, but now that I'm interacting with the community again, I've noticed how white-centric the agere community can sometimes be. Granted, a lot of online communities tend to have that problem, but it’s especially noticeable in the agere community.

Now, I don't want to assume that all age regressors are automatically racist because they don't make content that specifically caters to regressors of color, but I have noticed that a lot of general post about age regressors tend to assume that the regressor in question is white. They don't really take into account the different cultural practices, holidays or hobbies that might be more relatable for regressors of color, and tend to assume that every regressor is a white American who grew up in the suburbs.

The optimist in me wants to believe that these are simply oversights on the part of people unfamiliar with different cultures and their customs. But in my opinion, to make the agere community a much more inclusive and welcoming place, more people should take into consideration the fact that age regression is a universal thing. No two regressors are exactly the same, whether it's the food they eat or the holidays they celebrate.

Diversity is what makes the world so special, and I think the agere community should celebrate it more often! The best thing about a community is learning more about the people in it, where they come from and what makes their culture so unique. A little open-mindedness can go a long way, and can certainly help regressors of color feel less like outsiders.

Obviously, I realize I cannot speak on behalf of every single age regressor of color. These are just my personal thoughts on the matter. If anyone has their own two-cents they’d like to chip in with, feel free! I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

[White age regressors are allowed and encouraged to reblog this, but please don’t add any commentary that’d be less than helpful]

Aloha Mai Kākou! Welcome little ones to the Agere Keiki Club!

You may call me Māmā/Ms./Kumu Nēnē, or when I'm feeling like a keiki myself I go by Hoku.

My pronouns are she/her and I'm a flip, please do not interact if your blog is not safe for children. My rules will also be stated in the banner below. I will not hesitate to block or remove any disrespectful or harmful interactions here at my discrection, when you are here treat each other as though you are 'Ohana.

This is a sideblog dedicated to my personal experiences growing up in beautiful Hawai'i nei, and sharing resources for those wanting to appreciate the culture or inspired to start their own blog with their childhood experiences.

As they say, be the change you wish to see in the world and I want to do just so since I feel like one of the only regressors on the island, though I'm sure I'm far from actually being the only one.

I think the agere community is in dire need of diversity to show that childhood can be vastly different depending on where you grew up, and there's no wrong way to be a regressor.

Mahalo! ❀
