by Zulay Regalado, 23, reporting from Miami, FL, on facing her fears and singing for her summer
Singing has always been a passion that I’ve held dear to myself—and my shower. That’s about it. If you’re like me, you cringe at the thought of standing, let alone singing, within sight of more people than you can count on both hands. I can forget ...
