Kimberly Sabatini Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Find your voice, spread your wings and fly free... Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be? A. I would be a Red-Tailed Hawk--I would fly. Q. With whom in history do you most identify? A. Anne Frank--I read her diary when I was a teen and there is something about her spirit that has always haunted me. Maybe I've hoped to have a great impact on the world with my words and the strength to be the very best me in the life I've been given. And courage--I've wanted to have her courage. Q. What’s your fantasy profession? A. Singer--but that is never going to happen. *clears throat* Q. What’s your best quality? A. I'm a glass half-full optimist who is constantly working on making herself a better person. Learn more about Kimberly Sabatini
