I am very proud to say that America is my home! I have so much respect for this country and the people in it. I'm so grateful that you guys have taken me in with care and respect. ”

Vida's definitely a beautiful and peaceful girl. ”

If you think about it, all of us have one or more teachers who were instrumental. ”

I don't like exercising; I'll be honest with you. ”

We're like a travelling circus... We're always on the go. ”

I love wearing my hair curly, but turning the curling iron all the way up creates curls that look really made up and artificial. ”

My kids love going to school. When my son started going to kindergarten, we asked him, 'How was it?' and his only complaint was that he didn't get to stay in there longer. ”

Women inspire me. Women in the airports, around the country in different cities, destinations around the world, inspire me with the way they express their individuality. I love watching women and discovering all the ways each person uses a color, pattern, a style, even a lipstick color. I'm a people watcher. ”

This shared love of cooking and celebration has allowed me to create a strong bond with my family. ”

I loved seeing my mom put her own twist on years-old family recipes and also create new dishes. This made me develop a passion for cooking at a young age and would eventually inspire me to prepare meals and host wonderful family dinners. ”
