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.

We as women should shine light on our accomplishments and not feel egotistical when we do. It's a way to let the world know that we as women can accomplish great things!

We know we only have about half of our population that's voting.

It's important to realize that we all need to work together. With Weaving Movements, we are all interdependent and we all have to work together. If we could just realize that and understand that, we'll keep our country strong.

If you don't know, your labor unions and community organizations, there's somebody you can ask to guide you. A lot of people, especially in the Latino community, they have this big ballot and all these names and propositions on it, and they say 'Oh my God'. They don't know which of these to vote for, so they don't vote.

Sometimes, we have to promote ourselves. Just go out and be very active about trying to find an opportunity.
