I am SHAKING and I am so angry!!!

Four years ago at 18 I was I think SA , I say I think because I DID NOT CONSENT, it just wasn’t body parts instead SITTING ON MY LAP WITHOUT MY CONSENT , in front of my professor at the age of his early 20s! It was so embarrassing and now he found me on TIKTOK!!!!!! He liked three of my videos and don’t worry HE IS BLOCKED! The wildest thing is he blocked on my phone as well!! I just don’t know how to feel or what to do!!!!!

I hope this is the right place for this , but I am writing my first middle grade book. I want one of my characters to be Hawaiian the issue I am having is that as a black woman I know how important representation is and I am researching however I realized that I don’t know what websites to choose? So I have three questions

1. If her name is Leilani what part of Hawaii is that from, I know some names are geographically specific? Also is her name too common?

2. Is Scott a good last name, is that last name used on the islands?

3. Where can find accurate information that I could include I her backstory and personality.

You are not obligated to answer. The goal of book is for kids to learn about more cultures however I want to use the most accurate information possible so if you have time can you answer one or two of my questions please?
