I feel like the way that I felt about myself has evolved. And I&#x27;ve grown more confident in my skin and who I am. You have to accept yourself and love yourself, and the rest will follow. Being on the cover is the beginning, I think, of a new era and a new acceptance for what a Filipino woman looks like and what a black and Filipino woman looks like. So this is a huge milestone for me, and I think for little girls everywhere.&quot;</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Photo credit: Yong Chavez" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2023/tfc/02/17/her-yb.png"/></figure></div><p>Vogue Philippines celebrated H.E.R. with a Hollywood party, a first for the publication that launched its Philippine edition last year.</p><p>&quot;It really speaks very well of the talents that we have, of the people behind our culture, the creative arts, all the talent that we have all over the world,&quot; Rhoda Campos-Aldanese, COO &amp; Publisher of Vogue Philippines, said. &quot;This is such a great opportunity for us to showcase.
