I enjoyed reading your story, Yolanda it's very relatable. It was interesting to learn you have a degree in Japanese. Nice😃

I really enjoy reading your post, Yolanda!

It sounds very close to me. As a self-taught, being in a community was what I lack of. And it's been flying higher after I found Virtual Coffee! And am so glad we cross path through Virtual Coffee and become friends! 💖

Cheers to your first post and for more to come! 🍻
