I've had Irish skin from the time I was a young girl.
Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me.
Yancy is actually a Native-American name, but I'm Irish. Go figure.
I studied with the idea of becoming a Catholic priest.
I grew up in Stillwater, Minnesota in a proud Catholic family.
I was brought up Catholic, and my family is still very religious.

I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith.
I was raised Catholic... I fell in love with certain ideals.
