She must have been between 20 and 21 years old, she was a kind girl, hard-working and ambitious.”
After 15 years, she came to see me in my office whenever she needed advice or anything else. ”And to add on her entry into the world of television:“ When I started producing, in recent years, stories of jealousy, competition, and other trivialities, she was not spared by the unhealthy circles of the press, television and audio. Audiovisual. It went through very complicated times, was very tense and forced to resist the critics by all means. ”
