Bri, formerly known as Bri Blank Alexander, is a 29-year-old bright and bubbly, relatable television host, wellness expert, producer, influencer, self-love advocate, and inspirer with a contagious smile and laugh, whose life mission is to make a healthy lifestyle fun and enjoyable for everyone. She discovered her passions for health, fitness, and making the world a healthier place in a very interesting way.
Bri grew up extremely obese, eating whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. She didn’t realize how serious this was until one day, as a 19-year-old college sophomore, she stepped on a scale and saw that she weighed 306 pounds. At that moment, she knew that she needed to make a change, not for any other reason, but for her health. She researched healthy foods she could eat at her campus’s dining hall and began to track her food intake via UnderArmour’s app, MyFitnessPal, who later did a Victory Story video featuring her. After four months, 50 pounds flew off, and she began to teach herself how to exercise at the gym. After one year and ten months of hard work, self-love, dedication, and determination, Bri officially reached her goal: she had lost 150 pounds, nearly half of her body weight.
Bri’s journey immediately inspired her to want to empower others to take control of their health. She created her platform, Bri Healthy, in 2014, with a dream of being a talk show host. She has developed videos, recipes, and social media content with the intention of inspiring and helping others. Her platform has come a long way, and she is now a popular television personality, social media influencer, public speaker, and as she likes to refer to herself, Chief Inspiring Officer of her own brand, Womenspired®, a platform in which she interviews female founders and other successful women to help inspire others to pursue and achieve their dreams, through live events and her video series.
Bri lives in Brooklyn, New York, where she makes a point to enjoy all of the nature hidden within the concrete jungle. In her free time, she loves to read, do yoga, move her body for joy, meditate, and enjoy the beauty and magic of the world. She loves to cook and specializes in healthifying traditional, calorie-packed dishes, although she definitely treats herself when she desires to. She loves to walk around the city and explore, because she always sees something new while getting extra steps in. Bri loves to make people smile and feel great about themselves, and she does this at any moment that she can.
