A Positive Life: Portraits of Women Living With HIV Updated : by River Huston
A Positive Life: Portraits of Women Living With HIV Updated from River Huston on Vimeo.
I always wanted to write something similar documentary because when we used to chat in Paltalk I had a chance to meet a lot of people living with HIV virus. For so many of them especially for women, it's challenging to be HIV positive and lead a normal life while living abroad (being immigrant). I found this documentary/book very interesting and I wanted to share it with you guys.

Supermodel Liya Kebede
This is Raee, the beautiful 2-year-old daughter of the beautiful Liya Kebede.Turns out that Liya has decided that she is not busy enough as a mother, model and activist. She has designed a line of children's clothing called Lemlem ("to bloom" in Amharic) and the clothes are handmade in Ethiopia.

Liya Kebede is a supermodel with a mission. Born in 1980 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Liya was discovered while in school (Lycee Guebre Mariam school) and introduced her to a French modeling agent. When she finished school, Liya moved to France where her career took off.
Kebede's big break came when Tom Ford asked her for an exclusive contract for his Gucci Fall/Winter 2000 fashion show. Liya has been on the covers of Italian, Japanese, French and Spanish Vogue. She's also been featured in ads for Gap, Yves Saint-Laurent, Emanuel Ungaro and Dolce & Gabbana. She's also walked the runway for Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Gucci, Anna Sui and Zac Posen. In 2003, she is the first black model to become the face of Estee Lauder in the company's 59-year history. In 2007, Liya was the eleventh highest paid top model of the World's 15 Top-Earning Supermodels, according to Forbes.
In 2005, Liya was appointed as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. She also has her own foundation dedicated to reducing maternal newborn and child mortality and improving the health of mothers and children around the globe.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day
I Have a Dream: MLK Day in New York City
Walking in New York City on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 2008, we asked friends and strangers to participate in a project to provoke thought about the words of this famous speech. On its 45th anniversary, Dr. King's message of hope rings as relevant today as it did in 1963.
I love love his speech and the happiest moment and history has been made.
