Speaker Bio
In 2014, Violet created an anonymous Instagram account called @DaddyIssues_ as a means to escape her day-to-day monotonous life as an accountant. It wasn’t long before everything changed. Nine months after Violet started @DaddyIssues_, she was able to leave her job and find her voice while helping others find theirs. Violet’s unique voice has garnered a strong following of men and women alike across the globe. @DaddyIssues_ confronts raunchy, honest and relatable topics that many people are too afraid to talk about. Her following is 70% women and 30% men ages 17-34. Her Instagram account has been one of the fastest-growing accounts and she was referred to as an “Instagram Meme Queen” by Vanity Fair. Her immense Instagram popularity, original memes and organic captions have caused her to be featured by MTV, Vanity Fair, Huffington Post, Harper’s Bazaar, Buzz Feed, Cosmopolitan and many more. Aside from running two meme accounts on Instagram (@daddyissues_, @AmericanFailure), she also has a personal account (@Violetbens0n). In April 2016, Violet launched a Daddyissues website (DaddyissuesLA.com) that is complete with an advice column and blogs surrounding topics like dating, relationships, life struggles and anything else that caters to the Daddyissues brand and also to her voice. She is also a huge fan of Game of Thrones and used to blog about the show once a week every Sunday when it was on air. In May 2016, Violet launched her own emoji app called Slaymoji app which got over 100K downloads the first week. In February 2017, Violet launched her online store selling dirty V-Day cards that sold out the first hour. She now sells cards, clothes and house goods on her online store.
