A Renaissance Soul is someone who has too many interests and passions to choose just one. That’s one way to describe the variety of experiences in the bio below:

Renaissance Dreamer

Julene loves to delve and experiment in a variety of artistic expressions for fun – from painting, event decor and writing to acting, music and photography. Her dream is to successfully balance all of her interests gracefully, melding a variety of genres and ideas together to portray messages that inspire and impact the world.

Entrepreneur & Social Venturer

“Dare to dream, and follow your dreams – no matter how impossible they may seem.” This is the life mantra of 23-year-old Julene Fleurmond, founder and president of Envibrance Studios, a creative motivational media and marketing company. Julene has been dreaming and creating entrepreneurial ventures ever since she was a child. Driven by a passion for art and writing, she launched her first business in elementary school, selling handmade greeting cards and copies of a magazine she created, to family, friends and teachers. She later developed her entrepreneurial skills at the Miami Dade College Institute for Youth Entrepreneurship Program sponsored by NFTE, and Black Enterprise Magazine’s Teenpreneur Program, where she developed her business Envibrance.

The textbook entitled Entrepreneurship: Owning Your Future, Written by Steve Mariotti, NFTE Founder, is used in the NFTE curriculum to teach high school students the art of starting and running a business.

One segment of Envibrance is Art for Humanity, a non-profit art enrichment program that mentors youth, sponsors toy drives and art contests, and provides graphic design services to schools and positive programs catering to youth. This program, which she founded through a grant from Youth Venture, has allowed Julene to reach out to children who are much like she was as a child, growing up in the inner-city. She has witnessed that using the arts as an outlet can give disadvantaged youth self-confidence to face struggles in their lives.

Envibrance has won various awards such as 2005 NFTE National Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, two City of Miami Proclamations and the Miami Herald Silver Knight Award in New Media. Julene has been featured in publications such as The Miami Herald, the National Urban League’s Opportunity Journal, and South Florida CEO Magazine. Having finished a bachelor’s degree in journalism and currently pursuing a master’s degree in public health, Julene has plans to expand Envibrance into a larger inspirational media company with an even greater range of products and services. When considering the bigger picture of her life, she often reflects on words of the Indian political and spiritual leader, Mohandas Ghandi: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
