Loredana was born in a communist country during a time of political upheaval. As a young child she immigrated to the United States with her family to enjoy the rights and protection offered in the country.

Loredana later discovered that justice is often only given to those who can afford it and testimonies could be purchased, thus putting a price on truth.
