We had the good fortune of connecting with victoria debrito and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi victoria, other than deciding to work for yourself, what else do you think played a pivotal role in your story?
Growing my confidence level in modeling for posing, working in teams and collabing with different photographers and models.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I love to promote out body positivity and self love. How I overcame the fear of being judged how i looked, it took quite some time but after trying out for modeling and engaging on tiktok and making content especially when the pandemic first happened and we were all stuck at home. I self taught myself that we’re all different and people should not judge how someone looks like through the internet/social media. No one knows your story and knows you in real life who follow on your socials. After my break up last summer in 2021 I went out, started modeling and grew my confidence and found my true self. I can now teach others that you don’t need a partner to be confident and focus on your own self first and be confident i your own self before finding a partner.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
San Francisco city, San Jose city, different cafes, boba shops, viewpoints, drives, nightlife. The different photo meet ups i go to.

– Temple nightclub in SF and SJ.

My most fun and exciting things to do are my photo meet ups i get to meet new people and photographers.
