@mercylyn19 Hydeia Broadbent. She was born with HIV and has been an activist for the disease since she was a little girl. She a grown woman now though. Still going strong.
You know, IM a 30 year old married man from Scotland. But this speech was so inspirational and encouraging, it actually made me cry. What an outstanding young woman she is.
GOAT!!
