2. What do you consider your followers to be? (Friends, family, etc?)
- I consider them all my extended grandchildren since they're all younger than me. I love them so much.

3. What is the message you are trying to send through your positive content and energy?
- I want to spread the message of "You can do anything you want, no matter your age". I am 92 years old and I used to be shy, but now I don't care and I will say what I want. I'll also dance when I want because it doesn't matter.

4. What inspired you to create content on social media?
- I have the help of my grandson, Kevin. He helps me sometimes and I'm inspired by him sometimes too.

5. What is your motto for everyday life?
- "Love everybody" The easiest thing you can do is be nice to others and love everyone because then love will find its way back to you.
