Billie Holiday (April 7, 1915- July 17, 1959) was a professional jazz singer. Holiday had a huge influence on jazz music. She was mainly known and recognized for her amazing voice and ability to improvise her lyrics while on stage during performances.

I was then immediately bombarded with musty, humid air and noticeably large advertisements hanging above my head, all written in Chinese. Then, as I was walking with my head towards the sky, taking in my surroundings, I was abruptly stopped by a man, whom was slender and of Asian descent. He shoved a catalogue, that had listings of different counterfeit purses, into my hands and motioned…
