ʻO ka make weliweli o Mpozi Tolbert, 34, ke ʻimi ʻia nei e nā luna o ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Indiana e hoʻoholo inā aia a hewa ʻole nā OSHA.
ʻAʻole wau i launa me Mr. Tolbert ʻoiai e hana ana ma The Star, akā aia wau i ka elepela i kekahi mau manawa me kēia pilikua akahai. Hoʻomaopopo wau e lawe ana kāna dreadlocks i ka hapalua o ka elevator! E minoʻaka nā poʻe a pau mai ka lumi nūhou a ʻōlelo lākou ke kokoke ʻo ia. Ua heluhelu wau ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Mpozi e mālama maoli i ka meaʻai me ia e hānai ai i ka poʻe home ʻole. Inā ʻoe e ʻimi i ka Pūnaewele hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke ʻano kālena o kēlā me kēia kanaka.
Ke hōʻike nei nā kikoʻī kikoʻī o ka make o Mpozi iā lākou iho i ka blog blog ma mua o ka lumi nūhou. ʻO Ruth Holladay, kahi mea kākau nūpepa mua me ka Hōkū, e blog mau nei e pili ana i ka make ʻana o Mpozi a ke kūʻē nui nei ʻo ia i ka Star.

Ke hele nei i waena o ka indoctrination limahana a ka Star, hiki iaʻu ke haʻi iā ʻoe he kānāwai kontroversial maikaʻi kēia i kūkākūkā lōʻihi ʻia. He pilikia paha ke kiʻi ʻana i ka elepeka. Ua ʻelemakule ka hale, no laila aia he 2 ʻeleka i hiki ke ʻike ʻia e nā limahana a pau - a hoʻopaʻa paʻa ʻia lāua.
