The United Nations has declared December 10th as International Human Rights Day. As Magnificence Ambassadors, each of us has taken up the call to "be the difference Love makes" in our own daily ways. I invite you to join us in commemorating this day & the intentions behind it, by sharing what ONE action you are taking to uplift the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law.
