Adriana Bellezza changing the world through mental health & suicide awareness
Adriana Bellezza dedicated an incredible 25 years of her life to a flourishing career as a mortgage and finance professional, earning six prestigious licenses in her field. Beyond the world of finance, she passionately embraced the role of a devoted mother, tirelessly supporting her three children as they pursued their dreams in football, baseball, soccer, and cheerleading, pouring her heart and soul into every moment. But beneath this surface of success, a darkness emerged when she was thrust into the aftermath of a horrific domestic violence murder, igniting a raging fire of PTSD that threatened to consume her.
In her anguish, Adriana transformed her pain into purpose, becoming a fierce mental illness advocate for NAMI and championing the mental health of dancers in San Francisco as a beacon of hope. Breaking barriers, she proudly stood as the only female floor host in all of San Francisco, a testament to her indomitable spirit. Yet, tragedy struck when one of her beloved girls succumbed to the unbearable weight of despair and took her own life. In that heart-wrenching moment, Adriana vowed to fight for suicide prevention, turning her sorrow into a rallying cry for those who felt invisible.
As if resurrected from the ashes of her struggles, she began to write, to travel, to rediscover herself. When her twins graduated high school, she embarked on a journey of soul searching, embracing spontaneity that led her to a bikini contest in Las Vegas, hosted by none other than Playboy. A few short months later, she found herself emblazoned with the title of Playboy Bunny — a daring leap into a new chapter. Through her modeling and newfound platform, Adriana spreads a passionate message about mental illness and suicide prevention, even as she battles her own demons, embodying resilience and hope for so many who feel lost.
