Early in the morning on January 9, Miss Evangelista started her day with the most exhilarating news. She found out that her face was plastered on a screen in New York City’s Times Square. Heart swiftly shares the news to her 7.3 million followers on Instagram with a post that reads, “I still can’t believe that my billboard for @iasthreads is displayed in Times Square in New York! 😭 I’m so grateful for such an incredible opportunity to highlight a sustainable brand that shows the talented craftsmanship of Filipino artisans. God is truly good! 🙏✨”
