Oliwia Dabrowska is a normal person who never meant to become famous. She’s 32 years old and lives in her native Poland with her husband and their rescue dog. She used to be a librarian but switched to working as a freelance copywriter for better pay. She loves books and occasionally volunteers for a dog rescue organization.

“It’s hard to say something about myself,” she tells The Independent. “I can tell you facts, but facts don’t describe me. I cannot judge myself. I hope I’m a good person. That’s all I can say.”
