Victoria
Born premature at 23 weeks in the midst of her family being displaced from Hurricane Katrina, Victoria has been a fighter since day one. When she was six months old, she developed a severe infection after an IV was left in her leg for too long which ultimately required a below knee amputation. Throughout grade school, Victoria struggled with her mental health, dealing with unkind remarks from her peers. When she became a JTF Kid in 2020, she was able to gain confidence through her activity limb and was motivated by Jordan’s dedication to other kids like her. Through these difficult years, Victoria also discovered a refuge in makeup and the ability to enhance natural beauty became a source of self-expression for her. Victoria is currently enrolled in the Aveda Arts and Sciences Institute where she is in the process of earning her esthetician license. Her ultimate goal is to open multiple salons, where she can empower others through the art of makeup.
