In March 2016, she was one of seven female YouTube creators who joined the United Nations' Sustainable Development Action Campaign, aiming to "achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls."[5]

Yuya has written two books: Los secretos de Yuya (2015) and Las confesiones de Yuya (2016).[6] She released a perfume called #True in July 2015 and a makeup collection in October 2017.[7][8]

She has a brother, Sergio, who also has a YouTube channel.[3] Her uncle gave her the nickname Yuya after the Mexican TV character Yuya, la gorda.[4] She was in a relationship with Beto Pasillas, also a YouTuber, but broke up in June 2019.
