The story

Hi my name is GIA. I am a warrior against HIV and AIDS. This is a battle that I've been fighting since 1998, and the battle continues. I have a message for all who suffer this disease, "I don't have an expiration date on me and neither do you. So as I go out into the world I want every one of you to follow me. I'll lead you to a happy, healthy, victory. I love you all....Forever GIA" Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Behind the collection

Stitches

These dolls, created by women with HIV/AIDS, show that the disease is one with multiple layers that each woman must peel away in order to live a positive life.
