Rylee Brooke Kamahele

Rylee Brooke is an aspiring actress and model. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Rylee has always been a performer. Long before she officially discovered acting at the age of 8, she demanded the spotlight in everything she did and prided herself in fooling her family with tear-streaming, realistic crying performances and frequently faked sleeping to avoid having to walk. She was so believable that, had it not been for her laughing or saying "and scene" when she was finished, her family often could not differentiate between her acting and reality. Acting has always been something fun for Rylee, giving her an outlet to express her creativity and redirect her exuberant energy. When she isn't performing, her interests include emceeing, acrobatics, contortion, skateboarding, surfing, tumbling, snorkeling, drawing, cooking, animal rescue, golf, boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, dance, choreographing runway, pageantry, and designing and creating jewelry, hair accessories, and clothing. She utilizes her extreme flexibility and skill as a flyer and tumbler on an All-Star cheer team. Rylee is also an involved member of her community. She is an active participant in an extensive amount of community service, averaging more than 600 hours of hands-on service a year with over 40 different organizations. She works with K9 Kokua as their Junior Lead Volunteer Coordinator, is an ambassador for One Ocean Global, and is a part of Hawaii's Young Feminist Leaders Committee. Rylee founded and currently runs two soon-to-be non-profit organizations. Rylee co-founded The Secret Santa Project Hawaii with Kadence Fergerstrom. The organization brings Christmas to Hawaii's children in need, including kids in shelters and houseless camps. Her second organization, the Love is a Verb Foundation, focuses on turning youth into leaders. Under Love is a Verb Foundation, Rylee partners with over 20 organizations in Hawaii and has 12 programs fully managed and run by youth. Rylee produces and directs two television programs under Olelo Community Media. She co-produces her first program, "Remember My Name, You'll Be Seeing It" with Asher Morgado and Kaylee Shimizu. Their main focus is to showcase Hawaii's talented youth. Rylee Brooke also co-hosts a regular segment on local TV show, Living 808, as a representative for Remember My Name. Her second program is called the For Kids By Kids Show starring a cast of 60 of some of Hawaii's most talented kids. She is also a regular television host for Brown Bags to Stardom and works collaboratively with 808 Viral in a series called Let's Make Aloha Viral. Rylee Brooke is an entrepreneur. Under Ry's Company LLC, she runs two small businesses, both of which she started at the age of 8. She is the CEO and creative director of Brookie B and Glamour Kitty Collective. Under Glamour Kitty, Rylee started a program called The Kitten Club, where she trains girls in runway and pageantry and manages runway shows. Rylee Brooke co-hosts Rise Up Radio Hawaii broadcasting statewide and live streaming globally. The show is focused on giving youth a voice. She is the youngest radio DJ in Hawaii. The biggest motivation behind Rylee's determination to make it in the entertainment industry stems from her desire to make a difference in the world. For her, fame means reaching more people and success means being in a position to do more to help others.
