Advertiser Staff

The FBI Honolulu Division today honored Jody Shiroma Perreira for her work in crime prevention.

Perreira is co-founder, co-publisher and editor in chief of Sassy and G Magazine, a free bimonthly publication whose goal is to inspire island youths to become future leaders. She was presented with the Director's Community Leadership Award.

Perreira was cited for helping to create the Teen Video Awards, which resulted in over 250 student produced public service announcements focusing on anti-drug, anti-smoking and nutrition oriented messages.
