2024 Violet Visionary Awards
Anchoring Rainbow Labs as a leader in the LGBTQIA+ Youth Mentorship space, the first Violet Visionary Awards was in 2024. It brought together funders, VIPs, celebrities, and supporters to honor three individuals and organizations that are making an impact for LGBTQIA+ community.
Winners of the 2024 Violet Visionary Awards:
VINCINT, a gifted artist whose work amplifies our stories and drives meaningful change, received the Voice of the Community award, which celebrates those whose voice uplifts and empowers the LGBTQ+ community.
Ashlee Marie Preston received the Heart of the Community award, recognizing someone whose love and resilience inspire the LGBTQ+ community. This year's recipient is a beacon of hope, especially for LGBTQ+ youth, showing the strength within their journeys.
Gael (mentor) and Allix (mentee) received the Light Of The Future award for their mentor/mentee relationship and growth.
A special thank you to our Event Chairs Jose Diaz and Nicole Krakoff, Event Host Committee.
