I actually don't know much about Ruby, but from what I've heard, she is an amazing voice, personality, and role model out there for any and everybody, especially for Asians, Pacific Islanders, and Pilipinas trying to get into such an industry (me being one of them!). The words of hers that I've read are inspiring, and I only hope and pray that she becomes Alicia Keys' SuperWoman Head Blogger!!
Good luck, Ruby!
