Similarly, during an interview with People Magazine while talking about Ravello’s birth her parents proudly said,

“In this crazy patriarchal world we live in, we are doing our part to balance the energy. We are proud to announce the completion of our goddess trilogy with the birth of our third daughter, Makani Ravello, born on June 3rd.”

Talking about her ethnicity, she comes from a mixed racial background; her father is White and her mother is Asian. Likewise, she is the granddaughter of secretary Diane Harrelson and the late convicted hitman Charles Voyde Harrelson.

Furthermore, Makani reportedly did home-schooling and is probably studying at a private college in her hometown.

Her Grandfather Was A Hitman

Charles Harrelson was born on July 23rd, 1938, in Lovelady, Texas to Alma Lee and Voyde Harrelson. He used to work as an encyclopedia salesman in California and also as a professional gambler. In 1960 Charles was convicted of robbery and later admitted to having murdered dozens of people in the early 1960s.

Voyde was tried for the murder of Alan Harry Berg on May 28, 1968. But, two years later on Sept 22, 1970, he was free from the charge by the jury in Angelton, Texas. However, the details of the murder are recorded in the memoir Run Brother Run by the victim’s brother named David Berg.

Likewise, in 1968 Makani’s granddad was tried for the murder of Sam Degelia for which he was paid $2000 (equal to $17,100 today). He was found guilty of the murder and sentenced to 7 years in probation but was retried in 1973 and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Charles served 5 years and was released for good behavior.

However, in September 1980, Harrelson was arrested after a six-hour standoff with the police and was reportedly high on cocaine. Similarly, in a television interview after the arrest, he said,

“At the same time I said I had killed the judge, I said I had killed Kennedy, which might give you an idea to the state of my mind at the time.”

But, Charles later admitted that he said all the aforementioned things to stay alive, and after further investigation, it was found that Harvey Oswald was the one involved in the assassination of John. F. Kennedy.

Makani’s grandfather died at the age of 68 on March 15, 2007, in his prison cell because of a heart attack.
