Mariale Marrero became a YouTuber in 2010 after all her favorite beauty content creators weren’t using makeup products she could find in Venezuela. To fill a gap in the Hispanic community and as a way to practice and improve her oratory, she embarked on the journey of filming videos.

Like most Hispanic kids, choosing a creative career has its challenges. Marrero’s dad was sick and, unfortunately, the only family member who could work; therefore, she knew the future was in her hands.
