Princess Diana's Act of Kindness: Changing the Stigma of AIDS
Manage episode 437606018 series 3361036
This mini episode I am turning the spotlight on an iconic figure who redefined compassion in the public eye — Princess Diana.
As we approached the anniversary of her passing, I spent some time reflecting on her legacy and a particular act of kindness that still resonates deeply today. In this episode, we journey back to February 1989, and explore how a simple yet monumental gesture transcended borders and brought comfort and dignity to those suffering from the disease.
