Balancing motherhood, a full-time career, and multiple creative pursuits is no easy feat—but for Bri Velasquez, it’s a way of life. At just 27 years old (born April 1998), Bri is not only raising her 4-year-old son with love and devotion, but also pursuing her passions in modeling, dance, hosting, and brand promotion, all while maintaining her main career as an animal caretaker.
Born in Hayward, California and raised throughout the East Bay, Bri’s journey is rooted in resilience and creativity. She has always carried a natural sense of drive, finding ways to turn her passions into opportunities while building a future for both herself and her son.
A Journey of Self-Love and Modeling
For Bri, modeling began as an act of self-love. Growing up watching America’s Next Top Model sparked her fascination with the runway and inspired her to embrace her beauty and confidence. In the summer of 2024, she officially signed with NVS Models, marking the start of her professional modeling journey. Since then, she’s been steadily building her portfolio and presence in the industry.
But to Bri, modeling is more than appearances—it’s about empowerment, confidence, and embracing every part of who she is. Each shoot and runway moment is a celebration of resilience, self-expression, and growth.
Dance: A Lifelong Passion
Bri’s artistry extends far beyond modeling. She began dancing at just 4 years old, experimenting with different styles before ultimately dedicating 12 to 13 years to Polynesian dance. As a proud member of the group Teoraroa O’tea, Bri developed discipline, stage presence, and a deep cultural connection through her performances.
Now, she’s entering a new chapter of her dance journey. On August 23, she will step onto the stage for her very first nightclub performance at Caribbean Fusion, fulfilling a dream she’s carried for years.
Versatility in Hustle and Artistry
In addition to her modeling and dance career, Bri thrives as a club host and performer, bringing charisma and professionalism to every event. She has also made her mark in the cannabis industry, working with well-known brands such as Bossbudz, West Coast Cure, and Weedmaps. Her ability to thrive in diverse industries while staying true to herself showcases her versatility and entrepreneurial spirit.
A Mother, A Creator, A Force
Everything Bri does circles back to her role as a mother. Her 4-year-old son is her motivation, her inspiration, and her driving force. Through every hustle, every show, and every performance, she is building a legacy that proves women can be both nurturers and powerhouses.
From the runway to the dance floor, from brand promotions to caregiving, Bri Velasquez is carving her own lane—one fueled by strength, artistry, and ambition. She is more than a model; she is a mother, a creator, and an unstoppable force in the making.
