Q&A With DeVondia Roseborough

What are your hopes and dreams?
"My hopes are that all people will get tested for HIV/AIDS and know their status. I am hoping that individuals living with the disease know that there is not a cure, but God sure can heal, only if you trust and believe. My dream is like any other girl when she was young to meet that wonderful man of God and get married to an awesome man that is accepting of my mission and God's purpose, until then I realize that dreamers sleep and believers cast dreams!"
