Through these uncertain times it has become more important than ever to stay positive and fill our hearts with love and kindness. In staying optimistic, this second issue of INFECTA focuses on transformation: Finding a way to come out of 2021 stronger, accomplished, and more confident. 

I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate love, inspiration, and inclusivity than to feature Los-Angeles based influencer, transgender model, designer, and beauty queen Kataluna Enriquez on our cover. This Filipino-American beauty embodies the modern world and spreads the message of love, compassion, and the importance of staying true to yourself. 

Let’s make this the year we spread our wings and fly,
