This 25-year-old woman from Puerto Rico is currently living out a seemingly impossible dream. Sofia Jirau, who has Downe Syndrome, has a certain credo that she lives by. In her own words, “there are no limits” and she showcases her willingness to live by this motto on an everyday basis.
Sofia knows that the only limits that exist in this world are the ones that we create for ourselves. Her undying belief in herself has led her to some interesting places throughout the course of her world but none of them are more intriguing than this.

She has been included in a brand new Victoria’s Secret collection entitled Love Cloud. 17 women were chosen, as the brand looks to promote one of their most important values: inclusiveness.
“One day I dreamed it, I worked on it and today it’s a dream come true. I can finally tell you my big secret… I’m the first Victoria’s Secret model with Down syndrome!” she said on her Instagram page. We are so glad to see that she was included in this campaign. Her happiness is absolutely infectious and we have been enjoying watching her rise to stardom.

“Thanks to all of you for always supporting me in my projects. Thanks to [Victoria’s Secret] for seeing me as a model without limits and making me part of the Love Cloud Collection inclusion campaign. This is just the beginning, now it’s formed!” she continued. The dream came true on Valentine’s Day, as it should have. The love that she has in her heart is what has also helped to fuel her, as she strives for all of her most important goals.
“My people, dream big. Inside and outside there are no limits! Thanks to everyone who has congratulated me, I am very happy and joyful,” her announcement concludes. It is easy to see why she has managed to be so successful. She’s allowed her motto to guide her in all kinds of interesting directions and we have enjoyed seeing it.

“I looked myself in the mirror and said, ‘I’m going to be a model and a businesswoman,’” she said in a recent interview with PEOPLE.
This is one woman who will stop at nothing to make her dreams into a reality and we cannot wait to see what happens next. Her online store Alavett is sure to make a splash, as she will be selling clothing, accessories, and home products.
