You have to be very strong and tough-minded if you want to survive.

I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself.

Becoming a mother has taught me to simply things and also to appreciate being at home more.

I grew up in Barranquila, Colombia, and I spent most of my childhood dreaming about becoming a singer.

Education affects every major challenge we face in society. It creates economic growth, paves the way for peace and stability and helps erase the legacy of marginalization.

The music teacher thought I sang like a goat. It was kind of devastating. A few months after that, I participated in a music contest and won. I took my little trophy to school and rubbed it in his nose. I said to him, "What do you say now?"

My brain, I believe, is the most beautiful part of my body.
