Interview with Victoria Perera

Monika: Today we are going to Ontario in Canada, where my guest lives. Victoria Perera is a Serbian-born model, fitness instructor, and media influencer that shares her story on social media. We are going to talk about being trans and challenges related to her fascinating journey towards womanhood. Hello Victoria!

Victoria: Hello Monika. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to speak with you and share my story.

Monika: Could you say a few words about yourself?

Victoria: I’m a 44 year old transwoman. I work as a residential appraiser near Toronto, Canada. I’m recently divorced and share custody of my two young boys with my ex-wife that we successfully co-parent. I would call myself a fitness fanatic and a very social woman who is always looking for a new challenge.

Monika: What inspired you to share your intimate life moments via social media?

Victoria: It started out innocently enough. I joined Instagram because I was bored after my first facial surgery. It has become entirely different. After I started posting a few pictures, I found I was connecting and interacting with other transwoman who had similar stories. I was inspired by their transition stories and felt it was my responsibility to share mine as well. Before I had transitioned, I was a closed off person.

Interview with Kristina Ferarri

Kristina Ferarri is a Serbian artist whose life story is as intense and layered as her artistic expression. Born and raised in a small town in eastern Serbia, Kristina left her family home at just sixteen and later found both freedom and challenge in Belgrade, a city that gave her the space to pursue her dreams and begin her gender transition. Her journey into the spotlight started through dance, where she built a strong presence as a striptease performer, using the stage as a place of self discovery, survival, and creative expression. Beyond dance, Kristina embodies a multifaceted artistic soul shaped by music, performance, fashion, and a deep emotional awareness of the world around her. As a transgender woman navigating Serbian society, she speaks openly about pain, patience, faith, love, and resilience, while also reflecting on activism, representation, and the slow but visible changes in social consciousness.

 

Grounded in personal experience and inspired by cultural icons, music legends, and transgender pioneers, Kristina’s voice is both intimate and political, vulnerable and defiant, making her story one that resonates far beyond borders or labels. At the same time, Kristina is deeply self reflective and unafraid to question her own choices, missed opportunities, and emotional scars. Her honesty about loneliness, fear, and spiritual searching gives her story a rare emotional depth. She approaches femininity on her own terms, turning style and sensuality into statements of autonomy and self respect. Through media presence and personal activism, she supports other transgender people in practical, real life ways rather than abstract slogans. Kristina’s creativity continues to evolve through music and visual projects, even when inspiration feels distant. This interview offers a raw and thoughtful look into the mind and heart of a woman who refuses to stop believing in love, transformation, and the power of staying true to oneself.
