I would sit there and play and after the interview they'd ask me, "Did you like that person?" And my opinion would influence their choice.And then something happened. It's called education. I'm s ...

[Music] Influencers are no longer wanted. This might sound strange in a world obsessed viral videos, likes, and followers, but the truth is the influencer world is evolving. Behind the glamour of golden toilets and private jets lies a world of burnout, pressure, and constant reinventions.But is the spotlight really worth the sacrifice. Let me put it this way. Think of something so unfathomable, so beyond your grasp that it feels absurd to even consider.It's impossible, right. Because how can you possibly im ...

[Musica] [Applauso] Se io chiedessi a ognuno di voi cos'è la Sicilia per te, cosa mi rispondereste? Io questa domanda me la sono fatta anni fa e mi sono data una risposta perché Sicilia per me sta tutta nelle mani di mia nonna, quelle mani che impastano dolci e che io ammirerei ipnotizzata per ore. Per me l'energia della Sicilia sta tutta lì. Questa è una domanda che io ho fatto alla mia community esattamente 6 mesi dopo aver aperto la mia finestra sul mondo chiamata Ti ci devo portare in Sicilia e le rispo ...
