In the caption of the album he wrote: “Thank you for being so brave. You have all my admiration and respect since you are an example of strength and courage. Showing the world that by leaving the fear behind and accepting who you really want to be, you can break boundaries. I am happy to have worked with you and through this I want to express what it represents for me to support and be proud of being part of the gay community, defending and promoting our Mexican culture. Where I Benito Santos reflected the elegance, the glamor and beauty in the person of Valentina. Where fashion creates union and strength to transcend in a message of respect and equality. Viva Mexico“.
