Cristina Rae is a mother, entertainer classically trained in acting, singing, and dancing and is an America’s Got Talent Season 15 finalist. She earned the golden buzzer from Heidi Klum which sent her straight to the quarter-finals. She ended her AGT journey in 3rd place.

As a single mother, Cristina has been through her fair share of hardships including homelessness which she shared during her AGT audition. At which time, she was stopped by Simon to sing another song. Cristina is the second singing act to make it to the finals after being stopped by Simon in her audition. However, she is the highest placing singing act to be stopped by Simon.

She has performed at the infamous Apollo Theater, in New York and has appeared in off-Broadway productions.

We discussed:

-living in her vehicle, being homeless while singing backup for a grammy award-winning artist

-learning to be humble and express gratitude through our children

-giving ourselves grace as (single) mothers

-the song that got her the golden buzzer being the first time she performed it live

-embracing the changes

-and much more

Tune in to hear how she is living her best life against all odds and you can too!
