Fun Facts About Juanita
When Juanita is not on the road speaking...
- She can outplay her three kids at ping pong – take that!
- She can bake a mean pound cake.
- After high school, Juanita became an exchange student in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. Her host family did not speak English, which forced Juanita to learn Spanish. She now has a journal she cannot read.
