Education and early life

Briana and her sister Brittany DeJesus were raised in Orlando solely by their mother Roxanne DeJesus; Briana hasn’t talked about her father in public, and it’s believed that he left the family when she was three years old.

Briana was still attending a local high school when she became pregnant, and was then advised by her friends and family to enter an audition for the show “16 and Pregnant”; this led to her quickly becoming popular on the internet, and thus after matriculating in 2012, Briana chose to ‘work’ as a social media personality, and not to enroll at college.
