Emerging as a college student struggling to make it on her own in New York City, Destiny Maria’s world was turned upside down when she learned that her partner withheld his STD status from her until she tested positive herself. Her book, It Started with a Green Dress, shares her experience of being diagnosed with the disease, her quest for justice to find a silver lining with her diagnosis, and depicts a ruthless stigma thousands face. On today’s show, she joins Alicia Dunams to share her book-writing process and how it paved the way for her transformation, gaining self-forgiveness and self-acceptance in the end.
