    I love Miriam. I was watching a TV programme where she went to America and she was talking to gang members in some part of Chicago, I think. And she became teary and sad at their situation. She also went into a women's jail and she gave the young women in there some advice, to the point that she had one of them in tears. She's a woman who says what she thinks, but has a big heart. The gang members treated her with real respect.
