Add my pal Corky Lee to the list of Americans who have fallen in the Covid War.
No one can tell me Covid is fake or that the pandemic is not real.
Corky was a true Asian American fighter.
He always pushed me to do better, always, for Asian Americans, for the greater good.
I will miss him dearly.
I am proud to say I am certified in plant-based nutrition! Certified, I tell you!
It just means I’m a legit vegan who can preach and do the sign of the carrot.
I also host “The PETA Podcast.”
Here’s my interview with author Jackie Day. Her book, “The Vegan Way,” is a good guide to help
you get to your vegan goal. Listen here:

Tobera was an American National from the Philippines who worked as an ag worker in 1930 in Watsonville, California.
His death is a symbol in an era of anti-Filipino riots across the nation, most notably the five-day riots that took place in the central California coast town of Watsonville.
Tobera was in his bunkhouse when a group of white men shot up the living quarters. Tobera was shot in the heart. The mob of white men tracked down the Filipinos who they knew
had been dancing with white women in a Watsonville dance hall. They took out their revenge on Tobera.
It remains the single most famous example of what I call “Filipinophobia” in America.
On the video go to 15 minutes in to hear a discussion of Tobera.
