I’m an animal lover and a cat mom of my rescued ex strayed cat “CHACHA”. I used to have 3 more cats. 2 of them both passed away in 2020 and my very special cat died in July 2024. World Peace is my forever wish and hope I can contribute more💕

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
