Meet Viv Riot

Viv Riot (she/they) is the edutainer persona brought to you from a wild and varied creative background. Born and raised in the greater Los Angeles, CA region - I'm no stranger to the concept of working under a name you weren't born with. From a multi-generational family of activist, alternative lifestyles, creative arts, and military service (finding it's way into every generation); I came to learn that my upbringing was more unique than I could understand as a teen. Raised in the LGBTQ+ communities of West Hollywood in the 90's, being a teenager and learning you're the daughter of active swingers, it's of little surprise I also selected "untraditional" relationships as my love style.

I spent 11 years as a primary and pre-k educator. Working with kiddos in CA, CO, and NH throughout those years. When I left that realm it was so that I could stop leading a "double life" and I could stop worrying about what was in my shopping cart at the grocery store (ask any teacher, they will clue you in). I shifted 180* in a pretty big way and got involved with the adult industry in the SF Bay Area in the mid 2010's. There were years of my life where people recognized me faster without my clothes on than with them on. Where my height and my tattoos had their own kind of fan clubs in the local communities. And where I fully embraced living out loud.

These days I spend my time happily married (second time is the charm for me!) with 2 fuzzy terrors (aka cats) that keep us on our toes. I'm a proud auxiliary human to the niblets in my life (none of them with any biological relation to myself or my spouse) and 2024 has seen me deeply embracing my "Satellite Lover" era. I have delicious partners that can be found from coast to coast in the US and I treasure all the moments we are able to make for one another. I recently accepted a position on the Board of Directors for The Cupcake Girls and would absolutely love to talk to anyone about ways they can support our mission or get involved!
