Happy Birthday to my mom, Joi, 83 years young today!

My mom is one of my favorite humans: funny, hardworking, and loving to all.

She has been a trooper since a very young age. As a teen mom, and having 10 kids - yes 10 - she has spent her life working, raising children, grandchildren, and her share of suffering with the loss of my two brothers.

Yet, my mother is resilient. She continues to love the beach, and all family-related activities. She has been there for graduations, birthdays, school plays, baby showers, weddings, and anything we need and ask from her.

I remember my mom staying up all night and sewing an outfit when I was in Junior High, because I really wanted it. She taught me about faith, about being selfless, and she never gives up.

I am happy to spend a lot of time with her. I know I am blessed, as some have lost their moms, but if your mom is still here, hug and call them.

Love to all moms, especially mine, Josephine!

Today I had the privilege to present with AT&T Assistant Vice President, Mr. Richard Porras the following Investing in California Grant checks to our, more than deserving, non-profit organizations. The three non-profit organizations that have earned these grants were CSUF Center for Healthy Neighborhoods, operating at the Richman Community Center, Pathways of Hope, and Korean Community Center.

These funds from AT&T will be used towards a number of unique and significant program. From assisting low-income families with mental health support, referrals and filling out forms for COVID-Relief funds, providing rental assistance for one family household impacted by the pandemic, and supporting health care services during the pandemic.

I would like to thank AT&T for offering these grants to the amazing non-profits that continue to serve the 65th Assembly District. I am confident that this grant money will truly make a huge significant impact for all of our non-profits involved.

May 15, 1962 was proclaimed as National Peace Officers Memorial Day. Today, we remember our fallen officers during National Police Week. Today is a chance to show our appreciation and admiration to all of the officers who put their lives on the line to protect our communities.

2020 Women's History Month

Since 1987, March has been celebrated as National Women’s History Month, recognizing the great contributions that women have made to our nation.

I celebrate all the wonderful women that I have the privilege to work with and to all enlightened people that support Women's rights.

Our office hosted a productive meeting with key stakeholders to discuss issues related to homeless and severe mental illness.  With members from the county, state, and local agencies in attendance we are working to find alternatives to address these concerns. 

Today, I am proud to have introduced Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 185 which designates September 4, 2020, and in each succeeding year, as Taekwondo Day in California. I learned the importance of Taekwondo by two grandmasters, Master Yang, who is a member of the United States Taekwondo team and Master Lee, President of the California Taekwondo Association.

My goal is to have our community support ACR 185. In 2000, Taekwondo was adopted as an official Sport in the Olympics. As we look forward to watching this summer’s Olympic games and the Los Angeles Summer Olympic Games in 2028, I encourage us all to support the sport of Taekwondo.

Taekwondo is the art of self-defense that originated in Korea. It is recognized as one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world, reaching back over 2,000 years. The first Taekwondo school (Kwan) was started in Yong Chun, Seoul, Korea in 1945. I encourage men and women in our district to join in learning the beautiful martial art of Taekwondo and about the rich Korean history

Great job California State University, Fullerton! Ranked number 1 in all CSU and California Universities for graduating women.

Happy #NationalWomenshistorymonth and congratulations on this incredible accomplishment!
