We had the good fortune of connecting with Bianca Ramirez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bianca, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
One thing about the industry that outsiders are probably unaware of is the amount of industry people who are in the business for all the wrong reasons , over the past years of being exposed to an industry that only one can dream of when becoming an influencer looking from an out side prospective in not a lot of people see the down side of how people behind the scene will do anything to be around you , just to get above you and use you . Over the year’s I’ve had to pick out the good and bad people to be around but it definitely does change your prospective of people are and their intentions when coming into this industry. I can’t say i haven’t met anyone genuine down the line in the industry because I have , but my experiences in the industry have only changed and made me more aware of those around me

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I never grew up so fortunate I grew up living in a disfuncional family where I was then taken away by foster care and went through a traumatic experiences of physical and mental abuse at a young age until returning back to my family from being in the system .I decided at a young age that I wanted to be someone or do something that only I knew I can reach and do despite of what other say . I wanted to be a role model and influence others to push for their dream no matter how ridiculous or impossible it might sound to others because the little in me wanted to inspire those who were or are put in my position and seeking and wanting that guidance I only wish I had at that time of having no one . I started posting pictures in high school at the start of junior year and started my influencing off by helping little businesses in my valley the Coachella valley I started to notice I was able to make money off it ,until I started to get industry offers I can only imagine happened to people off the tv . I decided that I wanted to work in entertainment and be apart of the media because I knew my platform would reach those who I can only imagine it would reach little by little I was becoming more recognized in my valley and continued to make it a living aside from having my part time job as well . Not a lot of people know but I’ve always worked in the field of children with autism and one thing that has inspired me along the way is the motivation the kids I’ve worked with have had to learn and grow everyday despite everything it brings tears to my eyes and that has inspired me to keep going even for those who don’t have the opportunity I do so . Along the line I have had some challenges over a year ago I got hit by a car and survived and still managed to pull my self together after the back and fourth events that have occurred over the year with loved ones passing and being able to be mentally stable for the social media role I play in my life and outside work that I do . All I can say is that anything is possible with the right people around and always remember that tough times get better . I started my life off tough and I don’t think I would change any bit of how far it has brought me today

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely take them to see my valley the Coachella valley a lot of people know my valley by the Coachella Fest but not a lot of people know about the hard working people who have put my valley together to make it what is is now . I would definitely recommend a day out in Coachella

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I came from a difficult upbringing where my faith has always been challenged even in the darkest moments of my life where I thought quitting would be the only easy way out . I alway’s kept my faith in God and have always had extreme support from my family if there is anyone I can say has supported me from day one it’s my parents and my siblings but if I can give a personal shout out to anyone it would be to my Tio Luis he’s always supported me from day one and has pushed me to keep going even beyond the hate I receive , he has definitely earned that position as my number one supporter I love him .
