Cappy Solatorio
Community Health Worker
Aloha mai kakou, I am Cappy Anuenue Shea-Solatorio of Kewalo Hawaiian Homestead. I was born and raised in this community where I attended Lincoln, Stevenson, Roosevelt and the University of Hawaii. I made my career as a store manager at several retail stores both on Oahu as well as the Big Island. My husband, "Brada Sam" and I have been married for over 30 years and have been blessed with 4 children. It was very important for me as the children were growing up to be home during their early childhood years. I opened up Anuenue’s Day care in 1989. This allowed me to care for my own children and still be able to make an income caring for others. I worked at Kula No Na Po’e Hawaii for over 12 years before joining Lincoln Elementary School as a P.E. teacher in early 2020. When COVID-19 hit, I answered the call to join the Papakolea Pandemic Response Team as a community volunteer. This work is very befitting for me not being able to serve and care for my love ones but also for the love ones in our community. Mahalo Nui Loa.
