Hello! My name is Juliette Coley, also known as JUSTJULES on social media, and I’m 16 years old. I am the oldest of five Coleys. I was born in Tucson, Arizona, in the United States, to my mother, a teacher-entrepreneur, and my dad, who was an officer in the United States Air Force at the time. Shortly after being born, we moved to Spain, and my two brothers were born in Barcelona. My mom built a fitness business for moms and future moms so they could work out without leaving the baby at home, and my dad became a commercial airline pilot. After 4 years, we moved back to the United States, where my mom sold her business to one of her 21 franchises and was able to homeschool us while my dad worked as a flight instructor to support all of us.
I started doing gymnastics, and I quickly became one of the most successful gymnasts in the state. At the age of 7, I started traveling between the USA and Spain to represent both in gymnastics at the highest levels. I competed and won many competitions, and I was on track to compete in the Olympics. My sister was born, and when she was almost 3 years old, we moved back to Spain.
A few months after being in Spain, right after Nationals, my career as a gymnast came to a halt when I was diagnosed with a hip infection and had to undergo surgery twice due to a bacterium that I got while traveling. The doctors feared that I might never walk or run again. Miraculously, however, after a year of therapy with a gymnastics physical therapist who pushed me to my limits every single day, I was able to walk again and soon compete, getting to the very top of the podium. The doctors at the hospital told us that I was one of the only kids who was able to recover fully after the surgery and called me the miracle kid. Doctors believe I recover so well due to my athleticism.
Three years after COVID-19, we moved back to the United States, where my dad was working as an airline pilot, and soon after, my sister was born. I kept up my gymnastics career at a new gym, and after two years and due to the harsh coaches I had, I ended up tearing my labrum in my left shoulder and had to undergo surgery. The recovery lasted another year.
The same year, in 2023, at 14 and before the surgery, I took the SAT and started dual-enrollment classes at my local university to work toward my associate’s degree. My goal in the field of education is to earn my aviation degree and become an airline pilot like my dad.
During the recovery time of my shoulder, I started my YouTube channel. As I healed from my injury, I was bored, and, growing up in a sheltered household, I was always fascinated by YouTube. So, with my parents’ permission, I started making videos from my bedroom with my school iPad and my grandma’s phone. I would upload the videos to the platform. Within five months, I hit a million subscribers, and things just went up from there. I didn´t know you could get monetized by making videos on YouTube, but I indeed got an email from YouTube, saying that I was eligible, so I started to get monetized very fast after starting the channel, and many more opportunities came my way. I went from being a very introverted kid to one who can speak up, although I am still working on it. With the help of my parents, I was able to start my own business and hire a team of professionals to help me keep growing on my social media platforms.
I switched gyms and went back to gymnastics, but after 6 months, while I was training in Spain for Nationals, I fell on the bars and hurt my back, so I decided to retire from my favorite sport. It was a sad transition, but it allowed me to focus on my YouTube channel and my studies. I also started to collaborate with many more influencers and made new friends. I attended a few conferences, and in 2025, at the annual VidSummit, I was a guest speaker and spoke about how to stay consistent without burning out. Also, in 2025, I received an award in the House of Commons in the Parliament in London. I was named one of the 100 Top Child Prodigies in the world in the Social Media category. A couple of months later, I got invited to do a meet and greet at the Young Talent Expo in London, and that was an experience I will never forget, so many young talented kids waiting to meet me and excited for their own future. I have also done many podcasts talking about all things fame, education, social media, lifestyle, and faith.
During that long year, I also wrote a book that I published before Christmas 2025, and it is called “Where Are My YouTubers?” Where I explain all the secrets on how to become a successful YouTuber / Influencer.
I am now 16 years old, currently working towards my private pilot’s license since I will soon be 17, and I am looking forward to starting my pilot career while continuing to influence over 6 million subscribers and followers across all social media platforms.
I am forever thankful to all my fans for the 6.8 billion views across all platforms and for all the support I have received in the form of comments, video edits, emails, messages, dm’s, voice messages and fan mail.
