Today we’d like to introduce you to Vianca Bentley.
Hi Vianca, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I found inspiration as a child, hearing stories from my relatives who worked with popular Latin music artists. Growing up was different, but I always kept my ear to the streets, keeping up with the latest music, trending topics, and neighborhood fashions. Literally, I woke up one day and started planning a concert. I was not sure of what to do but instinctively started making phone calls and putting a plan to motion. I knew if I had the people, I could produce a concert, and with the success of my very first show I knew I could do anything.
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?
Nothing is smooth in life, I am not comfortable with “being comfortable”. Anytime you have to depend on someone other than yourself you leave room for obstacles to arise. However, being strategic helps to alleviate most of my stress because I play to other’s strengths whenever possible. The other obvious challenge is being a woman in the industry where we have to be loud to be heard, of course I welcome all challenges that come my way.

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
With all risk comes challenges, and I accept all challenges that come my way. As a leader and an entrepreneur, risk is inevitable you are literally betting on yourself, your ideas, and your ability to sway people. It was a big risk for me to start my non-profit Brooklyn Gives platform, the day of our very first event we were outside trying to get people into the door. Fast forward seven years later, last weekend Brooklyn Gives gave out citations from the NYC mayor’s office, gave back to the youth, created a safe place for kids, and brought out the best talents from around the city. Big risk equals big reward.
