As our special 2017 Mother’s Day Issue continues, we talk to model Sara Sampaio, who opens up about her mom Cristina…
My Mother’s Day traditions…
When I was in school, we used to make all these little crafts for Mother’s Day — like drawings or things made from clay that we would paint. Now, I’m never with my mom for Mother’s Day so I just call her and send her flowers.
And the flowers I send…
Roses or orchids.
Best gift I’ve given her…
I feel like anything I made, she really liked it.
Best advice I received from my mother…
She always told me to be myself, never let others put me down and always fight for what I want.
My charity…
Save the Children.
