Meet the Founder, Bella Rose

Bella Rose is the founder of Becoming BRAVE. Growing up, Bella was bullied for a birthmark she has on the side of her face. After getting into acting, she realized that her unique birthmark is her calling card. After years of being the shy kid, she decided that she needed to be the change. At age 12, Bella wrote and directed her documentary “Bella Vita No Bullo,” an anti-bullying documentary where she shared her stories and gave others an outlet to share their own. Bella also advocated for anti-bullying education by serving as a page for Illinois legislatures. In 2022 Bella was crowned Miss Nevada Collegiate America and joined the Miss High School America Organization; this is where she discovered the acronym B.R.A.V.E. During her year as Miss Nevada Collegiate, she visited classrooms across Nevada and recognized the need for anti-bullying education to be accessible for all children. She founded Becoming BRAVE as a step towards a solution.
