Juliana Ohayo
I was a world-renowned musician in my previous life and an owl in the one before that. Although my life is a bit understated in this one, my love for music and my nocturnal nature still persist. I’m an internet junkie – I feel blessed to be a part of a generation with so much easily accessible information. I’m a self-professed movie buff and TV addict. I enjoy a good book as much as the next person. I love fashion. I’m weird but I don’t mind, normal is boring. Love is my philosophy
