I'm an independent lady, have been living alone and taking care of business for years now, left family when I was 15 looking for opportunities, though I still visit them and love them very much.
I love people who spend their lives searching for their true identity, who do not care too much about being different - or the same, as long as it's honest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

once I got to sing with Michael Jackson. I was 5. He came to Moscow, and I was one of 15 kids walking around an inflatable Earth with him singing "We are the world, we are the children…"
