Witty, profound and a bit cheeky, Seven Lives: A Diva's Story is a journey through seven stages of life marked by seven nicknames: Rare Orchid: a survivor, Tough Cookie: a performer, Ginger: an academy girl, Princess: a wife, Gypsy: a free-spirited single woman, Diva: a wealthy entrepreneur, Collector: an art connoisseur. Over the years, I discover being a Diva is not limited to being a show off, self-important, pretentious, or even obnoxious. I'm certainly not an opera singer, the definition of the word Diva in Webster's dictionary. I define Diva as a person who is strong, self-aware, and free of society's boxes.
