– We go around the ring with Gabby interviewing Jordynne Grace. Grace has loved working in Texas, where she’s from. She’s been working for 10-years and loves being home. In her free time, she hangs out at home and hates flying. She loves eating good foods and working out a lot. Chocolate is her favorite, and loves candy in her ice cream.
