Early life and migration
Vida Guerra was born in Havana, Cuba, on March 19, 1974. While she was still a child, she relocated with her family to the United States. They settled in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. During her youth, she participated in several fashion shows where she modeled swim wear.

She has since appeared in numerous publications such as Smooth, DUB, Open Your Eyes, and Escape, often serving as the cover subject.
