Maria L.

I learned to sew from my grandma at 2.5 years old. I sew, craft and make dolls. I embroider and crochet. I've made costumes for myself and others since my preteen years. I make my own patterns. I also design paper dolls and write unpublished stories. I make puzzles, calendars and other printables. I was a caregiver for my mama who had Alzheimer's Disease, she recently passed away. I also took care of my grandma until her passing in 2014. I was a caregiver for 20 years. I was a babysitter since about 13 and love children. I've done office work. I'm a big reader, and love the library. I love history, cooking and movies, especially musicals! I studied voice and music in school. I was a stage performer and sang for many choirs. I'm a big nerd and proud of it! I believe that love is love and support the LGBTQIA+ community. I joined this because people in this world need to talk. When I was younger I had older friends whom I spoke to and often gave me guidence in this confusing world we live in.
