              Picture
              I’m the daughter of a Spanish gypsy and a Morrocan trader, and due to my parents’ lifestyles I have been a nomad with no place to call home since I was born. Constantly traveling the world had its perks of course. I picked up several languages and learned to communicate through my body and dance. When I was a teenager my parents sent me to a convent in hopes of finding some stability and routine in my life, however the chaste and monotonous lifestyle was suffocating. I craved the movement and passion that traveling the world afforded me, and so I fled. After years of wandering, I found the ladies of Minette Magnifique where I finally have a home that embraces my free spirit.
