Gloria Estefan quotes

The separation of families to me is very close to my heart because we lived that as immigrants.

I am privileged to help in some way and I will always take that opportunity. (Gloria Estefan)
I'd like them to see that those things that set us apart or make us different can be wonderful contributions to the world around us.
