Briel never set out to be an influencer. She posted the first video at her sister's urging during the Music.ly era, uploaded on Halloween night as a throwaway, and woke up to 1 million views. Dancing videos followed. Then, merging two passions — makeup and performance — she started making 'get ready with me' clips framed from the chest up, as other creators were doing, without initially revealing she had no limbs.

By the time of recording, she has 9 million followers across platforms and a single brand video of her washing her hair has cleared 130 million views. She doesn't call herself an influencer. She says she's still a motivational speaker — just on her own terms, in her own voice, telling her own story.
