Joseline, her mother, stepfather, and five siblings were very poor when they moved to Miami. In addition, one of her brothers was autistic. “We really didn’t have any money. I’m talking about one pair of shoes for the whole school year,” she explained. “We were really struggling.”
To make ends meet, Joseline began to work as a stripper. “I knew that I didn’t want to do that,” she said of being an exotic dancer. “I want to be an artist. I want to be a singer. I want to be a rapper. I want to be a model. I want to be on TV, but, at that time, my family was struggling and I had to help.”
