Welcome! In this episode of the Level Up! Podcast With Shay, Vico (they, him, she) opens up about how they have become the tenacious person they are today. A trip to fencing lessons with their mom and brother at 11 years old started them on their journey. After leveling up due to always competing against older boys in addition to their Speedy Gonzalez talent, Vico traveled the world competing in and usually winning at fencing tournaments. At 17, when the  fencing career started coming to a close, Vico decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Something they had always wanted to do. Now, you can find Vico on the screen on many different shows, playing many different characters - queer, straight, non-binary, cis, you name it! And now they have a vision of seeing and getting more queer characters and people who look like them on the screen. I\\u2019d say they have a pretty good start. We go into soooo much more. Thanks for stopping by - I\\u2019m excited for you to hear it!

You can find and support Vico on Instagram @puertoricaninja and TikTok @vico_ortiz. Check them out on the screen! Vida on STARZ, Everything\'s Gonna Be Ok on Hulu & Freeform, These Thems on YouTube!
