“a woman of taste”

Noa is 13 years old and lives in Santa Barbara, California. I am in fact, lucky enough to be able to call her my younger sister. Noa loves spending time with friends, listening to music, going to the beach, and fashion. Being quarantined with my family during such a scary time has lead me to spend a lot more quality time with my sister than I usually do. I have learned so much more about her passion for music and I noticed that she can barely go 5 minutes without saying “Hey Alexa, play this song!”. Coronavirus has brought many families together from around the world, which made me think that this would be the perfect time to interview my sister for my blog.
