Hello! My name is Monique Howell-Moree. I am a mother of 3 boys and a wife. I currently reside in South Carolina. I am an author of my first book, "Living inside My Skin of Silence" and the founder of Monique’s Hope for Cure Outreach Services, where my organization provides assistance for those Living with HIV and provides different classes and services even to those who are not infected.
I believe that by being a blogger for A Girl Like Me, I can help reach out to those who may feel lost and alone. I always was the type of lady who loved to uplift others so this will allow me to do so in a broader way. I contracted HIV in 2005 while pregnant with my 3rd son, and this disease changed my life in so many ways; most of all it gave me the strength to endure any obstacle that I may have in my life. Every day is not easy for me, but every day is worth it, because I still have one more day to LIVE!
I hope you enjoy my journey and the many stories that I will provide. To me, life is about what you make it. You’re not alone in this fight with HIV. Always remember that HIV is a part of us but it does not define us. A Girl Like Me, we are girls with dignity, strength, love, and girls who will make it in this fight!
Blessings to you all!
Monique Howell-Moree
Why Monique would like to be a part of A Girl Like Me: I want to be a part of A Girl Like Me because I want other women to know that they are not alone. I want to be able to help empower others and uplift them by the things I have to share. I want everyone to know that when we lock arms and build one another up there is so much POWER and STRENGTH!
