TownTalk: VV Mitchell Stays Busy But Grounded In Faith

/by

Varonica Mitchell is a drummer, an actor, a comedian, a cheerleader, a dancer and a model with her own Internet-based show that has attracted more than 1 million supporters.

She relies on a schedule to keep her on track, what with posting videos, bookings and school work.

VV, as she is known to family, friends and her growing fan base on social media is headed to 7th grade this year.

“It’s a lot of work,” she told WIZS co-host Bill Harris Wednesday on TownTalk, referring to all the videos that she produces, with the help of her father, the one behind the camera.

This pre-teen exudes confidence and positivity and her natural talent shines through, but she is quick to give credit where credit is due.

“I get it from God and definitely from my mama,” she said.

Her mom manages VV’s bookings and also creates costumes for VV’s characters, including Grandma Roseanne and Mr. Eggnog, who sports a big belly and a beard.

“The VV Show basically is all my talents mixed together,” she said, part acting, part modeling, part drumming.

Drumming? “I just hopped on the drums as a two-year-old,” she said, when her church was without a drummer. Those who heard her thought she was good, she said and “it just went on from there.”

Whether she’s in front of the camera in costume as one of her original characters or playing drums, VV said one thing’s on her mind.

“I get to make people happy and put a smile on their face,” she said. “It makes their whole day – that’s what I’m looking for.”

Her local friends are among her biggest supporters, and despite the bookings and traveling, VV said she does still have time to spend with her buddies.

“They are really big supports – I love them so much! They are supporting me all the time.”

You can find her on all the social media platforms – Tik Tok, Instagram, You Tube, Twitter and Facebook.

“And,” she said, with the perfect pause – for maximum effect – “you can Google me!”

VV leaves us with a little cliffhanger: she’s going to Atlanta but she can’t really tell us more until it happens…

Stay tuned, VV fans.

TownTalk: 11 Year Old Varonica Mitchell Attracts National Spotlight

/by

Like a lot of other kids her age, Varonica Mitchell was excited recently because she was getting a new phone.

But how many other 11-year-olds have a resume that lists accomplishments including actress, musician, dancer and, wait for it…stand-up comedian?

Varonia, or V V, as her family calls her, can be seen in her one-man, er, one-girl show on all the different social media platforms. Simply called “The V V Show,” viewers can click on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to see what the vivacious V V currently is up to. She has 37,000 followers, just within that past 18 months.

She chatted with John C. Rose recently for a TownTalk segment that aired Thursday and he asked her what she enjoyed most.

“I think I like dancing most,” she said after a little thought. “Shout out to my mom’s  iDance Praise Academy,” she added.

Whether she’s dancing, modeling, cheerleading, playing the drums or performing her original skits, Varonica gives it her all. Her infectious energy bubbles up when she speaks about the show. She’s developed several characters that she has introduced on her show: there’s Grandma Roseanne and Granny Rowann but she said a lot of folks are partial to Mr. Egg Nog.

“My friends like him,” she said. “His favorite word is ‘Well,’” she said, uses her best gravelly, old codger voice to drag out the word. “Mr. Egg Nog has a big stomach and a beard,” she said. “He tells me he’s supposed to eat healthy, but he doesn’t. He eats everything.”

Varonica gets into costume to portray the characters, and the rest of her family pitches in before and after production. Her dad does the videoing and posting and her mom helps her with her outfits. And when they’re on the road, older sister tutors her so she doesn’t fall behind on school work.

“My mom, my dad and my sister inspire me. Also Kevin Hart,” she added, giving a nod to the comedian, with whom she shares a common attribute – height. Hart, a world-famous comedian, stands at 5-foot-2; Varonica checks in – so far – at 4-foot-5.

“He inspires little kids who want to be comedians,” she said, but even if you don’t want to be a comedian, he still makes them laugh.

And if Varonica creates a similar path for herself, she is well on the way.

When asked what she thought she’d be doing in 5 or 10 years, she got quiet for a moment before she answered. “I will be an independent woman,” she predicted. “I will be doing movies, series…my mom will probably be kicking me out of the house by then,” she said.

But as long as Varonica keeps doing what she’s doing, her future surely is on a sharp upward trajectory.

“It’s me, being myself. Mmm hmmm.”
