Deborah, besides what we know about you, tell us about your visit to your country? It has been a wonderful experience to be in my country with my friends and family; walking the streets that once saw me grow up is my greatest gift in life.

What projects are you working on? Music has always called to me and is essential to me because I love to sing and dance, so I'm very excited to pursue that path, in addition to acting in an upcoming series and continuing with my line of perfumes for men and women, expanding to include children's products, creams, and other items.

We saw that you launched your fragrances, tell us about them! I love fragrances. I believe we are like scents, and although we may be different, we can leave that smell lingering long after we're gone, becoming memories. I want to be part of those stories where you might give a gift to your mom, dad, children, wife, girlfriend, friends, or anyone you want to give it to, and even to yourself—not just a perfume, but something truly special.

At what point did you make the decision to become a fearless entrepreneur? Fear is always there, you can't easily remove it from the equation, but every time I receive a negative response, it makes me stronger. You learn to live with that emotion, nurturing it and learning from yourself, especially when the emotion of fear wants to envelop you and you say, "I understand, I know it's difficult to leave your comfort zone, but you must do it."

Any advice for the thousands of followers of Revista Femenina? Dear friends, it is an honor for me to be a woman and to share this uniqueness with you. I don't care about your skin color, who you are, where you live, what you do, whether you are a mother, daughter, grandmother, aunt, niece, I am grateful for your life and for existing, and that we are connected in some way. I bless your lives, your families, and everything you do.

I ask for openness among us and to stop judging each other so much to fit in, and above all, to truly love ourselves—that's essential! I love you all 🥰🥰❤️❤️
