Vitória Mendonça: STU Women’s Skater of the Year

Vitória Mendonça is having a moment. Fresh off Women’s Skater of the Year at Brazil’s STU Awards and a new part in Element’s Search video, Vitória joins GLWT to talk about growing up in Campo Grande, Brazil, moving to São Paulo to be in the mix, turning pro in the middle of absolute Copenhagen Open chaos, and buying her mom a house in the same year.We get into Brazil’s skate scene, style, sponsorship politics, the power of showing up to community events like Unity Fest and Wheels of Fortune, and why Vitória believes dreaming shouldn’t be a privilege.
