Adora Luster

(SISS)  Hi Adora where are you from and where are you currently spending your time?  (Adora)  I am from everywhere. My father was an officer in the Army, so I lived most my life traveling every two years between Germany and the United States. I loved every bit of it! Constantly traveling and experiencing different cultures. Currently, reside in beautiful San Diego, CA.  (SISS)  What was one of the hardest things that you had to go through? What advice would you give someone going through the same struggle?  (Adora)  Growing up, I was called the meanest things because of my skin tone, blacksmith, coalminer. Young kids were so hurtful because of something that came with birth. Once day I came home crying to my parents and told them everything. I mentioned I do not understand because I think I am beautiful. My parents have always told me I am beautiful, gorgeous, one-of-a-kind. That day my mom and dad sat me in front of a mirror and pointed out everything beautiful about me. We sat there for hours…hours. Since then, yes, I still run into people full of hate. But, I am secure in my beauty and strength inside and out. My parents were my constant strength and made sure I always knew I was beautiful and never doubted it. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Don’t be afraid to open up to your parents or someone close to you if you are going through a hard time.  (SISS)  Author of “Whiskey Chocolate” #SISS Tell us more, who is @AdoraLuster and what are you most proud of?  (Adora)  Whiskey Chocolate is a poetry book about desire, lust, sex and romance in the description of whiskey and chocolate. Honestly, who doesn’t love whiskey, chocolate, and sex. It just works! I am a woman that loves to smile, has a sexy imagination, romance writer, and a lover of people. I am proud I finally put pen to paper and released my first book. It is something I have wanted to do for the longest time. I am not going to stop, the sky is the limit!.

I grew up playing volleyball, I received a full athletic scholarship to college, played in Australia and New Zealand as a sport ambassador and coached volleyball. My fitness goals are always to be happy when I look in the mirror. More than just a physical appearance but a mind, body and soul connection. LEG DAY IS THE BEST DAY! I love my legs. They get me to where I need to be each and every day! I also hate my legs because after a heavy leg day at the gym it is always hard to walk down the stairs or sit on the toilet. Bahaha.  Everyone out there knows what I mean. When you need to use support of the wall to sit. And think “ do I really need to use the bathroom.”  (SISS)  What makes you the happiest? What is fun for you?  (Adora)  My family make me happiest. I love going to the beach, letting, my mind get lost with book and writing material. (SISS)  How do you deal with disappointment? How do you Keep Going?  (Adora)  Disappointment is a lesson. I pray on it, take it, learn from it and switch my direction. Time is of the essence. I can’t sit and dwell on something that already happened or negative energy. It is up to me to learn and take the next steps.  (SISS)  What is your superpower?  (Adora)  Adaptive Communication. I love being able to put my thoughts into words and adapt them to personalities and environments. This helps me build personal and meaningful connections with many people.  (SISS)  Can you tell us four things people don’t know about you?  (Adora)  I have my Masters from Georgetown University in Public Relations and Corporate Communications.
