Meet Victoria Volkova, the First Trans Woman on the Cover of Playboy Mexico

In 2018, she made the list of Forbes Most Powerful Women for her Activism. "We need more programs to educate people and let them know that there is not just one type of family, nor just two genders," she explained in the financial magazine.

With over a million subscribers on Youtube, in her videos the Mexican influencer describes all kinds of very personal stories, sometimes while doing her makeup. Her coming out story video featuring her mom, or the ones in which she describes in detail her gender reassignment surgery in Thailand, have millions and millions of views.

Her younger sister Cynthia is her best friend and she goes with her everywhere. "I hope we all choose to live a life that makes us truly happy just like you did," she wrote in an Instagram post next to her sister's cover for Playboy.

She is also a makeup artist, and admits her favorite beauty look is red lips "always." Her signature color is Siouxsie, from Nars, and we get why.

She is also a dog mother to Leonor, a rescue she adopted through a friend. "I have never connected like this with a dog. Having her by my side makes every day better. Doggies are magical, adopt and let yourself be loved."

After loosing her dad when she was only 11 years old, she learned from him "how to always want to know more, educate and better myself," she remembers on Instagram.

On her Youtube channel and Instagram feed, she speaks often and openly about battling with her image and accepting herself. "Days like today, when I don't do my hair (yes, it is naturally curly), I don't wear makeup, and I even let my puberty pimples show, help me make peace with my dysphoria."

Before the pandemic, she spent the past couple years traveling all over the world. From Thailand, to Berlin, Paris, and California, she's been everywhere!

"I've never acted before and I have to admit it hasn't been easy," she said while applying glitter on her eyelids in one of her makeup tutorials on Youtube in which she announced she was going to be in a movie. "I never studied for this or pursued a career in acting, [...] but I think when stuff like this comes to you, you have to say yes and let it flow. The worst thing that can happen is that it's not perfect the first time, and then you just learn how to do it." The film that is expected to be in Mexican theaters in 2021, is a sequel to Sexo, pudor y lágrimas, an iconic Mexican drama released in 1999 that touched on issues like machismo, complicated relationships, and infidelity.

She is covered in tattoos of all shapes and styles. One of her cutest is this constellation of her zodiac sign, Sagittarius, that she shares with her best friend Monica, an Aries.
