Biography

Victoria Velázquez was born on November 28, 1992 in Santiago de Querétaro, in the state of Querétaro. According to what she herself said, since she was a child she knew she was a woman in a man's body, so she even confessed that she did not feel comfortable with her reproductive apparatus, which caused her repulsion. At the age of 18 she got involved in the world of YouTube, where she took the name Victoria, later she met a transsexual girl with the same name, who served as her mentor and advised her to begin her transition. It was until 2019 when she finally underwent sex reassignment surgery in Thailand. It should be noted that it was on YouTube where she shared her entire transition process to reaffirm her female gender. The model has a career in fashion design, although she later began to give makeup tips, lifestyle and personal anecdotes on her social networks. After being discovered, she had the opportunity to collaborate with several brands such as MAC and LEVIS, she is an ambassador for Jean Paul Gaultier in Mexico, and has her own fragrance, which she launched with AVON. Victoria is also an activist for the LGBTTTI+ community and women's rights. This has made her one of the most important influencers in Mexico in her generation and probably the most prominent influencer and model of sexual diversity in Mexico. It is worth mentioning that Volkóva was the first Latin American trans woman to appear on the cover of the prestigious Playboy magazine. In the field of entertainment she has participated in some plays, in 2020 she participated in the short film Traviatas, along with other prominent Mexican trans women such as activist Samantha Flores and singer and actress Morganna Love; however, her debut in cinema came with the film Sexo, pudor y lágrimas 2.
