RIANA: WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT ZOE? Even before we got close, I always was inspired by Zoe’s class and poise. She’s my little southern Barbie doll and teaches me every day how to improve myself as a woman.
ZOE: WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT RIANA? Riana is probably one of the most focused hard working individuals I have ever met in my life. When she sets her mind to do something, she doesn’t stop until the goal is accomplished. She inspires me to go hard, and for that reason I know we are going to be successful. Forever the #winnerscircle!
DO Y’ALL HAVE A BEST FRIEND INTUITION WITH EACH OTHER? Lol, we try to but it doesn’t always work out.
