Vogue Goddess Leiomy Maldonado Slays In Nike #BeTrue Pride Ad

"What did you do to make a mark on this world? What mountains did you climb?"

We've sung the praises of Leiomy Maldonado since we first encountered her as part of Vogue Evolution on America's Best Dance Crew.

Now the vogue queen is taking center stage in an amazing new ad from Nike, as part of the company's #BeTrue Pride campaign celebrating the LGBT community.

In the video, written and directed by Daisy Zhao, Maldonado is seen running, working out and dancing with her crew. A voiceover from trans artist Princess Ebony asks, "What did you do to make a mark on this world? What mountains did you climb? Which angels gave you their wings?"

"#betrue to #equality," wrote Maldonado, known as the Wonder Woman of vogue, on Instagram. "Break barriers. Accept all athletes. Thank you @nikenyc for the opportunity and platform to share my story with the world!"

As Mic points out, this is the first time a major sports brand has embraced voguing as an athletic event.

Laverne Cox posted the video on Instagram, writing "the girls are doing big things, trans folks are stepping forward with talent, vision, and determination and I love you all."
