SUNISA LEE BROUGHT ATTENTION TO THE ENTIRE WORLD - LAOS FROM WHERE SUNI LEE HAILS - THE FAMOUS HMONG TRIBES - LIFTED HER PEOPLE AND IN DOING SO SHED LIGHT - IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

 

There is something charming with Gold Medalist -  the humble yet astute Sunisa Lee - originally from Laos.

Sunisa Lee - has brought attention to the Hmong Tribes of Laos - an honor for her parents, more her father - all indigenous people - Kudos.

Sunisa Lee will always be remembered for her tenacity and fortitude.

When pressed to be a leader - and lead the United States gymnasts to victory - a stellar and memorable victory - we all will remember for years to come.

Here in San Francisco - home to so many immigrants - some of us have enjoyed meeting the Hmong people and admire their tenacity and love for Mother Earth.

I first encountered the Hmong at the Farmers' Market and admired how humble most carry themselves - and what was unique among them - a smile on their faces.

I especially am drawn to the Elderly - they have the grace and wisdom of having something special to offer in humility. 

Early on, I made friends with a Cambodian who explained to me more about the Hmong - he served with the United States Army - and told me some daring adventures lead by Hmong guides - in our War in Southeast Asia - known as the Secret War. 

Some Hmong people were allowed to migrate to the United States and settled all over the United States - we have a bigger population - Hmongs  - in the Bay Area - and are proud of their unique achievements.

It is time for America and genuine Americans - to ponder the indigenous people and more the indigenous people of this land - Turtle Island - our beloved Native Americans.

In decades gone by, Native Americans, Blacks, other people of color have represented the better aspects of the United States. It is all gratitude, about respect - and with respect comes genuine - honor.

Sunisa Lee has touched many children and youth - and at the next Olympics, we will see the results of her smile, her tenacity, as we see above.

Sunisa Lee's - ardent willingness to thank her father, her coach, the many on her unique journey - who put their faith in Sunisa Lee.

I love the Hmong people and often go out of my way to greet them and make small talk. Those who have lived here for a longer time can speak good English and do not shy to speak their minds.

Some years ago - we had a situation - with some Hmong targeted by hate entities - and we in San Francisco had to stand tall and represent. The situation has not been resolved - it can be with the present administration - at the White House.

With President Joe Biden in the White House - and Sunisa Lee shining - those that someone wanted to be deported - will be kept safe here in the land of the free. 

It makes no sense to use convoluted laws - to deported those Hmong -  who have lived here for a long time - to go back to Laos - where they have no one to comfort them and less to protect them.

Again and again, Sunisa Lee - mentions her father - a loving father who has done so much to help his daughter.

Sunisa Lee shares her love for her coach - who has done so much to uplift Sunisa Lee - and done it with grace - Kudos to the two of them for sharing - so much with the world.
