We were lucky to catch up with Ariel Laviolette recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Ariel, thanks for joining us today. How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?

I learned how to be a content creator by studying my craft during undergrad and graduate school. I also learned by watching my peers on YouTube. To speed up my learning process I would have studied more about my craft. I believe learning about the ROI’s and posting times is helpful tips. The obstacles that stood in my way is myself because I second guessed myself instead of just putting out great content.

Ariel, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am Ariel Laviolette, a 32 year old, God fearing, fun, and fabulous women. I have created my social media platforms such as; YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Pretty Flaws Podcast to help inspire young women of all backgrounds and empower them to be great. I hope to inspire and motivate young women to be the best versions of themselves.

In addition, I believe my personality and fashion sense sets me apart from others. I am most proud of how far I have come from were I started and excited about my future endeavors.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

What is driving my creative journey is my perseverance. Even in the face of great trials, I don’t give up. I believe once I reach my desired goal of being a top black influencer and content creator, I will make my family and myself proud. My journey hasn’t been easy, There have been times when I felt like giving up because I wasn’t seeing any progress, but I still strived for excellence. I’m not were I want to be and I am not stopping until I get there.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

A lesson I had to learn is that your dreams are not achieved overnight. It takes hard work, discipline, motivation, inspiration, resilience, and determination. When I first started my creative journey, I had no idea where to start. I knew that I had what it takes, and I knew it was possible to reach success. So, I kept trying until I got it right.
