She’s a reality star, online content creator, artist, social media personality, and animator who originally gained attention on the U.S. version of Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum. Her name, Dani, has since become synonymous with creativity and inspiration, especially as she went on to launch her very own animation company—DaniMation—a venture that truly reflects her passion and talent. Before all the fame, Dani faced early challenges, being nonverbal until she was nearly six years old, which makes her journey all the more remarkable. Born to Myrna Vielma and Robert Bowman, Dani spent part of her childhood living with her aunt and uncle, where she began developing the resilience and imagination that would later define her career. Today, Dani continues to shine across platforms, using her voice and artistry to connect with audiences worldwide.
She found out she was on the autism spectrum when she was just 11 years old, and since then, she’s been embracing her journey with confidence. In March of 2024, she made a memorable appearance at the GWEN Luminary Awards—an inspiring moment that highlighted her growing influence. Over time, she’s built an incredible online presence, amassing more than 650,000 followers on her TikTok account, danibowman1, where she continues to share her story and connect with others. She’s truly making a difference, one post at a time.
