THE WORLD CUP WAS LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY. By less than a month I mean literally twenty-nine days. They were going to Qatar before the game, but England's first match would be on November 21st.

Juliana was so anxious that if she could, she would take every pill in her anxiety medicine bottle. But she didn't want to die. Not before the World Cup.

One thing she wasn't worried about was whether the media liked her or not. Most people love her. Not everyone, of course, no one is loved by everyone. But in the meantime she had managed to create her own image. Now she was no longer "little Sung", "Kimora's daughter" or anything like that. She's Juliana, the photographer for one of England's best teams, the England national team. An incredible person.

She's never been much of a social media user other than on her private accounts, but because of Keyla's influence, she's started posting more, not just about her work, but about her personal life too.

Everyone loved to see the interactions between her and the team, especially when it came to Foden. Many said they were secretly dating, others said they weren't, but one day they would. The fact is that everyone could see that all of this was not "hate". Luckily for them, most of them took all the jokes and slurs in stride.

During that month, my schedule was full every day. When she wasn't photographing games, she was photographing events, rich people's parties, rich people's weddings, recording interviews, doing photo shoots, etc and etc.

She's never been better.

Now we're officially into the month of the World Cup.

The World Cup, the biggest football championship in the world. The championship that everyone looks forward to. Where even those who don't watch football spend around two hours cheering on their country in front of the TV. Where every edition, some child or teenager falls in love with the art of football and becomes a fanatic. Just like the author here on the other side. But I'm not the focus.
