I'm Venessa Kaufman, Founder of The F Word. Many know me as @wetheclassy. During my eight years as an influencer, I found myself in the weeds of social media, tirelessly building a business under stifling platform control alongside creators expressing the same frustrations. It’s estimated that nearly 80% of creators and businesses are underserved by our current social media platforms. I got tired of demanding better, and decided to create better.

Prior to my life on the forefront of social media I earned my degree in Interpersonal Communications with a minor in Sociology and then spent 11 years in Wealth Management focused on IPO placement and options strategies.

My husband and I of 15 years have a 9 year old son and 11 year old daughter. My happy place is at home, with them, around the fire pit with good music flowing.
