Her name is Emma Kok. Look for her on the internet. She became famous when she was 15 years old or so. She signs like the angels. If you look for her interpretation of the song “Voilà ”, you’ll see that it has more reproductions that any crap issued by Donald and Elon together, by far. Unfortunately, she suffers from gastroparesis, an illness that forces her to be connected to two feeding pumps for 22 hours a day in order to digest.
