Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself.

I have always loved performing.

A poor child who receives high-quality early childhood development is 40 percent less likely to need special education, twice as likely to attend college and dramatically more likely to survive childhood.

Of course for a Colombian girl it was always impossible to even imagine becoming an international popstar, but my dream became reality.

Scars remind me of just how far that I've come.

In tough economic times, we have to make every dollar count, and studies have shown a return of up to $17 for every dollar invested in early childhood.

Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry.
