Valentina Sampaio Hopes to Inspire Transgender Youth With History-Making SI Swimsuit Announcement
"The moment my agent, Christiana, from The Lions Talent Management told me I was blown away by excitement and shock that SI Swim was really going to happen. It was always a dream of mine that was finally coming to fruition," Sampaio tells E! News. "The first thought that came to my mind was this is not only an achievement for me as an individual but for the whole Trans community.
"We are all human and we all want to be accepted and loved. I realize I have been very fortunate and I am forever grateful," she shares with E! News. "I also think it is extremely important to share positive milestones and victories. I advocate for people who face prejudice and are not given the basic level of human rights to exist with minimal dignity. If anything I say or do can plant a seed of love, that is my goal and life's work.
Talking about how she hopes to inspire transgender youth and anyone who sees this SI issue, Sampaio says, "I hope that transgender youth and everyone sees within themselves that we are all physically unique, yet all united in a common desire to be accepted and loved as we are. The most important thing no matter who you are, is to know yourself. To understand your essence and trust it enough to live it- regardless of judgement and prejudice.
