Michelle Dee’s fresh look for this GMA Homecoming Media Conference was done by the pure talent of hairstylist Nelbert Seboy, and Dave Quiambao who slayed the make-up game. No one can argue that not only Dee’s beauty and presence can captivate attention but also her excellent wisdom and every word she expresses. She’s a queen for a reason; smart, strong, and empowered, and is someone who’s not afraid to stand up to break barriers and stereotypes.
