GUILLERMO ROMERO

guillermo romero was editor of the magazine viernes cultural one of the first publications to give shakira the opportunity to promote herself in her native colombia

i met her in 1990 she always wanted to get ahead wich is why she got involved in differents facets such as modeling, acting and music she was driven to find success

i was able to see that she would become a great entertainment figure although not everybody thought so because she was a little, a bit chubby and she didnt dressed as well as she does now...

she spent hours at my magazine and she told me that what worried her was that would go by and that she would fail to reach her goals

i remember on that on one occasion, when the sony record label submitted a letter releasing her from the label she was very saddened about it and she cried a lot she thought no one wanted her in colombia not the journalists nor the record labels
i tried to raise her spirits telling her dont cry because bigger things are coming!
