“ It was about 10 O’clock when a friend of mine, David, called me informing me that he was on his way to Washington DC, for the much anticipated event and informed me that there was no press. At  that point I quickly gathered my makeup and clothes and within 45 minutes got in my car before taking off,” said Lupita.

She added that she needed to look good by putting on some make -up and a good outfit on in order to look good for the president.

“I must say that it was an incredible and amazing experience that I had.
