She is also the head behind the philosophy «Mappeløs», which encourages everyone to be met with the same expectations no matter where they come from; We will not let your past decide what you can do or be in the future.

Venke is seen as a social entrepreneur because of her engagement to create new jobs, seek better social skills and master our society.

«You matter» are two of her favourite words, and she likes to encourage people to be the best they can be. Her motto goes as far as «music will save the world» and she is as ambitious as she sounds.
