Everyday we feel judged by the world for what they see. I find courage for what makes me who I am. Under my skin, I find empowerment. HIV is a battle that goes beyond the infection, we need to fight stigma by changing perception. With love, we can go beyond the superficial World AIDS day. We can help end AIDS together. ?????????? #LoveYourself #HSCUnderMySkin #ActingonHIV #WorldAIDSday2019 @headshotclinic @loveyourself.ph #MissUniversePhilippines #MissUniverse2019 #MissUniverse #GaziniGanados #Ganado5
