The woman who greets me is hard to miss; she91裸聊视频檚 glowingly gorgeous, dressed in stand-out style and vibrating with the energy of someone who is in perfect alignment with what she91裸聊视频檚 doing.

She immediately credits the team behind her hair and makeup, joking that she certainly didn91裸聊视频檛 wake up like this. I only have a few minutes to capture a photo of her gorgeous style, but it91裸聊视频檚 not a problem: the woman is a pro. She91裸聊视频檚 easygoing, knows her angles and is comfortable in her skin.

Working as a medical lab technician in her mid-20s, Sonia decided to go back to school to study broadcasting 91裸聊视频� uncertain of where it would lead her.
