It gave me more determination to continue.

Yeah, my mother set the values for our family. I mean, she was a great devotee of St. Francis of Xavier. And St. Francis of Assisi, and she's the one that taught us that you, as I mentioned, that you have to help people if you possibly can. And actually, my mother had a business. She had a restaurant. But one of her friends, who was Japanese, was interned after World War II.

And my mother's friend, she asked my mother if she would take over her business, which is a hotel. My mother gave up her own business to help her friend and took over her hotel while she was in the internment camps. I hope that her friend was able to return. Yes, she did. They were able to return. Unfortunately, my mother... We had the business, but we didn't have the building.

And the people that owned the building refused to give it back to the Japanese owner. But when it was able to help them start a whole new business, they started a jewelry store.

Well, I think women, we are more compassionate. We believe in sharing. We believe in cooperation and not competition. We are definitely against wars because we do not want to see our husbands, brothers, our children killed. We don't want to see our children killed. We don't want to see other people's children get killed.

And so this is why we have to do whatever we can to get more feminists elected. And when we say the word feminist, we include men, of course, that share the same values. And, you know, we want to end all of the discrimination that we've mentioned before. We can have a peaceful world. We have, you know, our world has so many resources.

And if we just shared the resources, and then we could think again of sharing and not competition. But I think it is going to take women taking power to make all of this happen.

Well, I think men always want to—I shouldn't say always. No, not always. I know. Not always. But men, they like to take over. They like to be in charge, you know. And it's kind of difficult for them to defer to women in leadership often. I think I've been fortunate in my life because I did work with Fred Ross Sr., who I believe was the first feminist man that I ever met in my life.

With Cesar, I was able to challenge him when it came to the issues of having women in power. And he would listen to my arguments because Often I was correct and he wasn't. So, you know, but I think it's so important that we have women, but often also to make women understand that they can use their power, that they have power, that they don't have to defer to others.

They have to believe in themselves.
