โI donโt really have a woman, or if anything, I would say my mom. Not, like, anyone specifically about women. Iโm glad that theyโre finally speaking up in various situations. Like, in different countries, theyโre speaking up where women donโt have rights and now theyโre finally getting their rights back and Iโm glad thatโs happening. Iโm glad to be a woman.โ

โI would probably say all the women in my family. I come from a family of very strong women and I know my grandmother was very adamant in instilling the belief that women can do anything, can be anything and that women have such a vital importance in our daily lives. Not just the femininity and the masculinity, but as well as their place economically, philosophically and politically. Itโs very important. Speaking to my grandmother, as she would tell me stories from 50, 60 years ago on how little women had in rights and respect. Itโs just disappointing. Iโm glad that now weโre at a point where women get the respect, the recognition and their placement that they deserve.โ

โUna de las mujeres que mรกs influye en mi vida es mi mamรก. … Ella me inspira mucho [en] mi carrera porque ella tuvo cรกncer de mama y lo superรณ. Pues, yo quiero estudiar medicina para poder ayudar a personas como ella, que tienen cรกncer โฆ y cualquier otra enfermedadโ.

โOne of the women that is a big influence to me is Emma Watson, just because even with her very famous and good acting career, she still went back to school to get a degree, just because she finds education that important.โ
