She even shares a lighthearted moment about Eddie Murphy flirting with her—something she hilariously didn’t realize at the time.This is the raw, unfiltered story of a woman who refused to stay broken.You won’t forget Helen Ortiz. #testimony  #indeliblymarked  #storytelling #guatemala #testimony #therapy #podcast #bodybuilder #bodybuilding #americandream #cancersurvivor #cancer #cancerawareness #immigration #god https://www.instagram.com/ifbbprohelen?igsh=amh3d2VieDN6MHZphttps://youtube.com/@IFBBProHelenOrtiz?si=cx09gfk-q2sIOTeaDominique Kuykendall https://youtube.com/@indelibleartsnetworkhttps://www.instagram.com/indelible_rudy/
