OUR BIO:
BJ Gianni founded Talented Young Folks, LLC (TYF) in 2012 during the peak of her professional career in New York City as an actress and model. TYF began as a youth ministry of sorts to give back to her hometown community (Prince George’s County, Maryland) the mentoring, training and knowledge she didn’t have growing up. Over the years, BJ Gianni took on new roles that increased her expertise and passion for youth development even more which include teaching Math & Spanish in public schools and becoming a mom of two energetic and charming children.

The company has grown to a fully operated business entity with regularly scheduled classes and private coaching sessions for youth and their parents, focusing on best practices for a breakout career in the industry. In 2018, TYF Coaching made the transition to a complete online service based business and continues to thrive in the performing arts training industry. We still offer a wide array of services using technology to bring you the same TYF Experience whether near or far. TYF currently serves clients all over the United States and abroad with the power of technology.

TYF has also taken its services into schools and businesses to impact more youth across the DC, Maryland and Virginia area.
