Maria you have great skills in acting, just as you have started. I have watched the maria series, and now sultana. I would love to see you in Hollywood movies just like lupita. Though something big starts from somewhere, i believe you have great potentials, towards your career. You can try to further your studies in it,locally or abroad, if that’s your passion.
