Whether lighting up the stage or starring in a hit TV series, Victoria
Vida is the most electric talent to storm into Hollywood. This
Miami-born, Brazilian/American actress and singer is a force to be
reckoned with as she takes over the screen as the star of the Emmy award
nominated Netflix series "Project MC2 ." Winner of "Best Actress" by
the Brazilian International Press Awards for her role as the lovable
fashionista "Adrienne Attoms" on the Netflix series, which is seen in
over 190 countries worldwide. The series revolves around a group of
girls who excel in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering
and math). The high school-set series, with the seal of approval from
the White House Council on Women and Girls/U.S. Department of Education,
is based on the best-selling Project MC2 dolls that encourage girls to
interact with and experiment with science.
When she is not
educating and encouraging her peers to enter the field of STEM, Victoria
uses her talent to empower others. Drawing inspiration from difficult
times she experienced in middle school, where she often felt like an
outsider, she wrote and recorded the song "Shining Star". This is her
way of reaching out to people who feel the way she used to and encourage
them to always believe in their inner "Shining Star."
Stepping
out on stage at the Hollywood Pop Academy, at tender age of eight she
was chosen to perform solo in front of a sold out Stevie Wonder concert,
Victoria found her calling early. She uses her free time to perfect her
craft, which includes playing the guitar and dancing. Family is
Victoria's absolute everything, it is where she draws her strength and
her values. Her close family ties also instill in her a desire to spread
the love and support she receives from home to her community.
Motivating her to help children in need by volunteering at local Los
Angeles food banks and hospitals, adding to her list of passions she
pursues when she's not on set. She considers herself a "World Citizen"
because she feels one culture isn't enough to describe her, every new
person, city and culture that she experiences makes a huge impact in her
heart, and she integrates all knowledge she gains from these
experiences into who she is. Victoria's life motto is DON'T ERASE
YOURSELF, EMBRACE YOURSELF.
