Tiktok sensation Emira D’Spain creates history as the FIRST black transgender model to work with Victoria's Secret!

Model and TikTok sensation Emira D’Spain is creating history as the first black transgender model to join Victoria’s Secret family. Emira collaborated with the giant lingerie brand to create content for Valentine’s Day.

Titled, “Single Girl’s Guide to the Perfect Valentine’s Day,” this TikTok video shows how to spend the day of love on your own. “My entire platform is built on confidence and self-love. I want to empower young trans women and men around the world to show them that the beauty and fashion industries are changing. Especially if you are a person of color. I am so grateful to work with Victoria’s Secret and hope this paves the way for others after me,” said the model as reported by Page Six.
