Leadership is a choice one makes.

Every minute a chance to change the world.

The first time when I was organizing, I went out and started knocking on doors to see if people were registered to vote. I was a door knocker. I didn't even have the confidence that I could register people, so I just was out there door knocking. That was my first experience.

I'm glad that the fact that people are still getting poisoned by pesticide drift is gaining attention.

My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me.

When you choose to give up your time and resources to participate in community work, that's what makes a leader.

We just have to convince other people that they have power. This is what they can do by participating to make change, not only in their community, but many times changing in their own lives. Once they participate, they get their sense of power.
