Female athletes weren’t the only ones breaking records at the opening ceremony at Rio Olympics this past Friday. Firstly, Gisele Bündchen became the first model to do the world’s largest catwalk.
Then, another Brazilian-born, Italian-raised model, Lea T became the first trans woman to participate in an Olympics Opening Ceremony. She pedaled on a bicycle leading the Brazilian Team into the gigantic stadium.
Lea told the BBC that her involvement would help send a message the world. “Include everyone, no matter their gender, sexual orientation, race or religion. We are all human beings, and we are part of society,” she said.
“Brazil is a vast country, and all its diversity should be somehow represented in this event,” she added.
Lea celebrated her achievement by posting a picture of herself pedaling into the stadium on Instagram.
Brasil, meu Brasil brasileiro Meu mulato inzoneiro Vou cantar-te nos meus versos O Brasil, samba que dá Bamboleio que faz gingar O Brasil do meu amor Terra de Nosso Senhor Brasil pra mim Pra mim, pra mim Ah! abre a cortina do passado Tira a mãe preta do cerrado Bota o rei congo no congado Brasil, pra mim Deixa cantar de novo o trovador A merencória luz da lua Toda canção do meu amor Quero ver essa dona caminhando Pelos salões arrastando O seu vestido rendado Brasil pra mim Pra mim, pra mim! Brasil, terra boa e gostosa Da morena sestrosa De olhar indiscreto O Brasil samba que dá Bamboleio que faz gingar O Brasil do meu amor Terra de Nosso Senhor Brasil pra mim Pra mim, pra mim! Oh, esse coqueiro que dá coco Onde eu amarro a minha rede Nas noites claras de luar Brasil pra mim Ah! ouve estas fontes murmurantes Aonde eu mato a minha sede E onde a lua vem brincar Ah! esse Brasil lindo e trigueiro É o meu Brasil brasileiro Terra de samba e pandeiro Brasil pra mim, pra mim, Brasil! Brasil pra mim, pra mim, Brasil, Brasil!✌🏼️✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
Team JWB is proud of Lea’s participation and thinks that she’s a BAWSE!
