Today we’d like to introduce you to Elyana Violet. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Elyana violet is an upcoming actress who trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (London), also known for her activism to “save the Planet with Style ” @EcoVvear and as the founder of the girl empowerment @TheBFly.co. She was recently selected as a youth brand ambassador for the InternationalJusticeAlliance.org 501 (c) charity that supports causes like the Racial Justice Act and animal rescue with PuppyLoveSanctuary.org. As a TV correspondent for VanguardJustice in collaboration with DavisVanguard.org, Elyana is involved in independent journalism, covers as well as co-hosts high-profile events from Malibu to red carpet openings as well as San Quentin Prison, interviewing celebrities, political heavyweights like Mayor Darrell Steinerg of Sacramento with cases of notoriety for the Change Makers series with recent interviews completed with author of the Racial Justice Act assembly member Ash Kalra and Los Angeles district attorney George Gascón.
She founded TheBFly.co to give opportunities to talent from all walks of life, connecting next gen activist talent to the impactful entertainment industry. Whether a feature film, TV series, fashion campaign, music videos, etc., all projects support causes like racial justice, eco-sustainability, animals’ rights, as well as a healthy lifestyle. As an entrepreneurial, conscientious content creator, Elyana is an integral part of dynamic network and support systems for young women and minorities who need career opportunities as well as their voices to be heard. “Elyana adheres to high standards of excellence in every aspect of her work. As an entrepreneur, Elyana Violet is not just building businesses; she’s building a legacy of empowerment, innovation, and inspiration,” said Jessie Thomas from Arc1 Productions. Elyana promotes powerful messages. She, alongside her connections, is creating a paradigm shift to influence the younger generation to be the change they want to see. “We make activism sizzle, ‘we are the next-gen activists!’”
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As an only child, the impact of having parents who had not resolved their issues and lived across the country amplified financial and emotional struggles and made Elyana a target for bullying. These challenges, however, only made her more motivated to dream big and succeed. Elyanas road to her dreams included everything from babysitting to dog walking as well as working at restaurants, including the trendy Saint Theo’s in downtown NYC, where as the hostess she got to meet and greet numerous celebrities like Bella Hadid, Anna Wintour, Darren Aronofsky, and Bradley Cooper, several of those who were unexpectedly down to earth and encouraging. She recalls how her manager encouraged her to tell famous film director Chris Henchy that she was his neighbor actress and that if he ever needed a deranged young girl next door type, she’d be perfect. He politely told her not to count on it and instead focus on developing a community and stay the path if this is truly her calling. She may not have known how to get there, but she didn’t get distracted as she knew she was on a mission. Fast forward a few months later, she blessed and made a strong connection, followed their guidance, and wound up developing the entire business from her cell phone.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
TheBFly.co connects the next-gen activist talent to impactful entertainment industry projects like racial justice, eco-sustainability, animals’ rights, as well as a healthy lifestyle. Some of the projects, like the “ChangeMakers” docu-series, feature entities and individuals who have positively impacted various industries, lifestyles, politics, technology, the law, and cultural paradigm shifts. She recently interviewed author of the Racial Justice Act assembly member Ash Kalra and Los Angeles district attorney George Gascón as part of the series.
She recently wrapped the ‘Fashion4Freedom’ show at the Vanguard Justice Awards in collaboration with DavisVanguard.org at an iconic location called “The Bank” in the capital of California. The fashion promoted prison reform and racial justice. Her previous Malibu fashion show was held at the famous Marwah estate in support of eco-sustainability and racial justice, with attendees like Dara Reneé, who can be seen in Disney’s The Descendants.
She recently had one of our feature films, “Dark Ghost Stories,” which tells the untold stories of those who’ve lost their lives to racial discrimination in a film noir style that was nominated at the Cannes Film Festival with plans to go back into development in 2025.
She is now working on the expansion PuppyLoveSanctuary into the entertainment industry to promote a change in people’s mindsets about rescue animals through impactful media initiatives like PuppyLuvYoga (yoga with your rescue!).
TheBFly.co has a clothing line, digital magazine, and an app promoting a healthy lifestyle, kicking off the project with weekly lifestyle transformation sessions (workouts, routines & healthy habit development) to transform the caterpillar into the butterfly.
