Meet your mentee, Violent

Violet describes herself as funny, nice, and outgoing, and she brings an upbeat, creative energy to everything she does.

She grew up in the Bronx and loves watching Netflix shows like Never Have I Ever. In school, English has been her favorite subject because she enjoys both reading and writing. Outside the classroom, Violet loves shopping, makeup, and playing volleyball. She also has a background in dance and cheerleading, which she participated in during middle school, and she really enjoyed being part of her school’s writing club. Violet dreams big—she’s interested in becoming an actor and the CEO of her own fashion business, where she can design clothing and express her style. She likes being organized and sticking to the plan, and although she sometimes worries about grades or what people think, she is committed to her goals and is seeking support as she prepares for college.

There are many natural connections between you and Violet. You both share a love for dance and understand how it can build confidence and friendships. Violet is passionate about creativity, style, and performing, and your work creating joyful, impactful children’s books aligns well with her interest in storytelling and self-expression. She values reliability, positivity, and strong guidance—qualities you bring to your mentorship.

Violet is excited to learn from you as she explores her interests, strengthens her academic confidence, and begins planning for college and her future.
