Maya Angelou once said, “We have no idea what our legacy will be because our legacy is every life you touch.” She emphasized that our legacy is not just about what we say or do, but how we make people feel. My prayer is that the people who read my books especially women will be inspired to walk in their purpose and not be afraid to use their voice to change the world. Read more>>

Lorie Fangio | Founder of A Taste of Paris(TM) food and wine trips to France
