I loved her, and I asked for her book for Christmas ( the second one, I have the first one!) Me encantó, siendo puertorriqueña y mi primer idioma no es el inglés (tengo acento al hablar el inglés) aunque lo entiendo perfectamente, su forma de ver la vida, ufff a otro nivel.

All of them

Listening to them both is so uplifting and a pleasure. I could listen to them interview for hours and learn more about their friendship, life experiences, and beliefs. #friendshipgoals
