We’re kicking off the summer with a throwback to one of our most loved episodes! In this powerful and personal conversation, we sit down with our dear friend Victor John Madrid Villanueva to talk about what it really means to live authentically.

From growing up with immigrant parents to navigating life as a gay Filipino-American artist, Victor shares his journey of self-definition, rebellion, and radical self-expression. We get into family expectations, workplace identity, creativity, and why showing up as your whole self is one of the most freeing things you can do.

About Our Guest:Victor John Madrid Villanueva is an artist and designer based in New York. By day, he works in the beauty industry creating for IT Cosmetics, and by heart, he’s a beadwork artist who celebrates culture and identity through fashion, portraiture, and play.
