Valentina Sampaio led a groundbreaking transgender fashion model career that inspired millions worldwide. Her dedication to advancement and inclusiveness defined her career. Valentina’s psychologist discovered her gender identification at age 8. This drove Valentina to adopt that name at thirteen.
Though unusual and difficult, she was supported by family and peers during the adjustment. Valentina was the first transgender model on Vogue’s cover in 2017, a milestone in fashion. She appeared in Victoria’s Secret Pink athletic line advertisements and was the first transgender model in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
