Dr. Alma immigrated from Mexico with her parents while still breastfeeding. She’s the first one in the family to pursue higher education and obtain a Doctorate in Pharmacy. Currently, Alma is a Clinical Oncology pharmacist disenfranchised by western medicine in more ways than one. In the last few years, she’s turned to functional nutrition and holistic medicine to get back to health. Now, Alma is actively pursuing a functional nutrition coaching certificate to help others achieve good health. Her goal is to make this information accessible, to educate and empower our community to create better health outcomes for themselves and their families.

Victoria Magaña Ledesma is the Owner of Misma Lani Farms – a 100% Kona coffee farm and processing mill where the beans are cultivated and crafted to deliver the flavors of Hawai’i. Victoria is the daughter of Mexican immigrants who migrated to the U.S. mainland as agricultural workers and further migrated to the state of Hawai’i as coffee pickers in the 90s, Victoria created Misma Lani Coffee as a tribute to the immigrant hardship and sacrifice. When her father was deported in 2017 after decades of living in Hawaii, Victoria chose to continue the family business and take it further with its own online store.
