BRASIL — As LGBTQ acceptance in mainstream marketing continues to expand, sensational Transgender model Valentina Sampaio scores the cover of Elle Magazine’s Brasil‘ November issue. This gorgeous model is a Brazilian native who is elated to be graced with her first magazine cover at the tender age of 19.

As a journalist I have to give Elle Magazine props’, Sampaio isn’t the first Trans fashion model to capture the coveted cover of Elle Brasil but with the turmoil throughout the EU, the Middle East, and in the United States, to capture moments such as this is truly worth celebrating.

It will be a great day in the United States when we will see more of our LGBTQ citizens taking those traditional rolls in headliners. After all it is no secret that LGBTQ members of our society are heavily behind the scenes in fashion, media, marketing and more that has brought success to some of the top brands today.

The images captured in the November issue of Elle Brasil are sensational. Sampaio is captured sporting a blue bathing suit and a Burberry coat. We must give it to Sampaio for her rise to stardom. She is truly someone with courage that many Trans’ citizens could draw strength from and know that they too can do anything that you want. Not only has Valentina Sampatio taken Brasil by storm but she also showed her power when she came out this past March in a video for International Women’s Day which was produced by L’Oreal Paris.

Speaking in Portuguese, Sampaio makes it crystal clear to her fan base..“Beauty is something that transcends the body—it comes from the soul.” says Sampaio. “It’s great when you accept yourself, when you know what you’re worth.” said Sampaio.
