“My name is Gabriella Annalisa. I'm a Tik Toker and Youtuber from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I grew up in the city of Philadelphia and went through schooling. I always had many hobbies such as singing, dancing, cheerleading, traveling and art. I always had a passion for Youtube and social media as a whole. For many years I did modeling and cheerleading which I loved to do. I started taking it very seriously once I graduated high school in June 2019. 

I started my Tik Tok in late June and almost immediately I started to see results as I started to develop a following quickly. I created a Tik Tok with the intentions of later starting my YouTube Channel and begin doing what I always wanted to do.

 I saw how it affected me and my peers. I wanted to do something about it, I always found myself trying to help everyone and make people smile and see things with a better point of view. It made me realize how I really wanted to start a brand and create a platform to help others and make people smile by bringing more positivity into people's lives. 

After my following started to grow, I started to become the best of friends with so many social media influencers throughout the world. I love connecting with people and creating genuine relationships with all my supporters as well. This is the most important thing to me in everything that I do. I love helping people stay optimistic and strive for greatness. 

Ever since I started taking social media seriously, I've been growing rapidly, My goal is to spread happiness throughout the world and make the world a more positive place.”
