Lessons Learned

Salma Hayek

Oscar®-nominated actress Salma Hayek's mother taught her a life lesson through her singing. "I love my mom because she loves to sing, and she has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. She sings like an angel," Salma says. "She did overuse it when I was little. She was singing all the time, and many times it embarrassed me. But my mother taught me that whenever she felt like singing, it didn't matter what anyone else thought, including me. She was just going to sing and feel free with her voice. I love her for being brave and for having such an important voice in my life."
