Valentina Sampaio
Valentina Sampaio has traveled a long way from her hometown of Ceará, Brazil. Although growing up in a remote country, her parents arranged for her to see a psychologist when she was eight years old, who recognized her feminine traits and told her she was most likely trans. At the age of 12, she had decided on the name Valentina and has never looked back. Her modeling career took off after she moved to Rio de Janeiro, and she has subsequently smashed numerous records. She was the first openly trans model to walk the Victoria’s Secret catwalk in 2019, and the first openly trans model to participate in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in 2020.
