Alicia Gordillo

Alicia Gordillo was born on October 24, 1997, in Fort Polk, which is a ‘United States Army’ installation located in Vernon Parish, east of Leesville, Louisiana. She traveled to various US military bases with her mother, who was in the army. Alicia grew up in a very protective environment. Her mother sheltered her throughout, and Alicia ended up being a shy girl. She was homeschooled till eighth grade, after which she joined a regular school. Alicia was considered a misfit in school. She could not socialize much and had no friends. Her younger sister, Alana, who is from the same school, is completely opposite in nature. Like her sister, Alana too is a popular actor. The Gordillo sisters are of mixed ancestry: their mother is African–American and their father is of Mexican–American and Guatemalan descent.

Alicia has faced a lot of adversities in school. She was surrounded by a culture of drugs, smoking, alcohol, and sex. This had made her life in school miserable. In her videos, Alicia often urges her fans to stay away from such harmful habits and encourages them to get themselves involved in creative activities.

Alicia loves the color green. Her favorite food is bacon. She is currently in a relationship with the famous ‘Vine’ star and social-media personality DeStorm Power.
