Conheça Valentina Sampaio! Meet transsexual Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio who came out as trans during her first International Woman’s Day.
“We believe that every woman is worth a lot.” writes Loreal Paris in the video description. “Meet Valentina Sampaio and see why this International Woman’s Day is even more special to her. #TodaMulherValeMuito #ValeMuito #lorealparis
International Woman’s day offers a pledge that you can sign to promote gender parity, this year’s theme. One of the options you may choose while signing if you so choose is ‘third gender/non-binary’.
The beauty of the idea, created by WMcCann and readily embraced by L’Oréal Paris, generated spontaneous expressions of support from all involved – the producer of the video, KN Productions, the renowned photographer Paulo Vainer. “We want to take this message of feminine pride everywhere, showing that the identity of the woman does not have to do only with sex at birth,” said Viviane Pepe, Director of the agency’s creation.
